derek kerr, a whistle blower. why do organizations retaliate against whistle blowers? it's because whistle blowers have inside information about wrong doing and there by represent a threat. whistle blowers are viewed as insider threats. unfortunately the whistle blower program's quarterly report issued in december includes a bulletin warning about insider threats. we are told these are employees who "negatively affect organizational assets." that definition could qualify whistle blowers as insider threats because it depends on who defines what is a negative impact on an organization. the term insider threat is derived from national security programs that were installed after the chelsea manning and edward snowden revelations. importantly, it applies to intelligence agencies that handle classified information, not to city agencies that handle mostly public records. this bulletin targets disgruntled employees without the difference of those who want to fix a problem and those who are criminals. even speaking out is labelled as a red flag. the bulletin doesn't mention non

. >>> welcome back maybe you've heard of new reports that claims a whistle-blower has come forward to shed light on a scheme that manipulated the volatility index, known as the vix, that cost investors hundreds of millions of dollars a month. bob pisani joins us with that story. >> this alleged whistle-blower has written a letter to the s.e.c. saying vix is subject to potential manipulation i spoke with this whistle-blower a short time ago he would not identify himself to me only that he had been working at buy side firms for 20 years in senior roles the crux of his argument is that vix derivatives, futures and options, may be subject to potential manipulation the vix is calculated using options in the s&p 500 one month out, 30 days out let's assume the s&p is at 2600 and options are priced between 2800 and 3,000 normally far out of the money bids and puts, say those at 1,000 or 12,000, way out of the money, they're no calculated because there's no price to them there's no bids. this whistle-blower contends the only time we see bids in these far out options is just before the settleme

in 2015, the former head of moscow's anti—doping lab turned whistle—blower, fleeing to the west.the way to meet him. for more than two years now, the man at the very heart of russia's doping scandal has been living in hiding, here somewhere in the united states. finally, he's agreed to speak to us, but such are the security concerns surrounding him, we've not even been told where we have to go. after hours on the road, we are taken to a location that we are told has to remain a secret, along with his new identity. if you had not left russia, where would you be now? you'd be dead? rodchenkov‘s role in russia's remarkable doping programme became the subject of an oscar—nominated film. were you the mastermind that cheated the olympics? he said the conspiracy went right to the top, and that london 2012 was also targeted. so what does he say to british athletes whose games were tainted? the russian government says you are lying. you were cheating. it wasn't them, it was you. does british sport have a problem with cheating, do you think? despite russian claims he is part of a western c

but this is the -- and this is the whistle blower reprisal. i have been investigated twice for whistle blower reprisal because i held somebody accountable because they beat up a cid agent, pulled his weapon on a neighbor, and because he sent a protected communication to congress, i got held up for six months. i had no idea about the protected communication. another four months. we do this to the general officer corps not to mention to the entire army all the time. the reason why the numbers are so high from dod ig about the rise in complaints is because of the misapplication of whistle blower reprisal. the law is good. it talks about intent to kill or cause serious bodily injury. it talks about grievous things, not downgrading an award. we have hijacked the system and there's a dark cloud over the general officer corps because right now, we are getting hammered. >> i thank the chairman and the only parting comment i'll say is that people are dragged into the ig to serve in ig capacities, they pick them from some of the best performing folks th

the question of whistle—blowers under protection so that the story gets out and doesn't get covered uptransparency did not work in this case and i think all charities will now realise that that is gone now, the idg can finesse the slightly and only put partial amounts of information in front of the government. that is not going to work. there has to be complete transparency. i think all of these things, i think charities are going to have to start publishing these allegations, lists so that you can measure what is being done. the crucial point is how do you regain trust? not only in terms of the british government but also our viewers. should they should do not give money to these organisations? if these questions are outstanding thatis if these questions are outstanding that is what is concerning. hattie got a sense of how damaging this has been to donations? there are trends and they are long—term. it will be and they are long—term. it will be an interesting test as and when, god forbid, there is another earthquake, tragedy, crisis, how hard is it pretty charities to get together to
