If someone went to arbitration and has settled with them they must sign an agreement not to discuss the case. This is fine but if the sec is working on a case against a company the investor who has settled should be able to send the sec any info they have on the sec case as long as the individual is not looking to profit from this. Most arbitration agreement say an individual can coperate with an sec investigation so they should also be able to volunteer infomation so they do not harm other investors.
