- finding that a corporate officer could engage in voluntary “whistleblowing” activity to the SEC even if this meant disclosing privileged information
- “the issue is whether [the insider], believing that there was wrongdoing by the company’s officer-directors, voluntarily could disclose to the SEC privileged information already in his possession”
