No specific laws identified for this ruling.
The court entered judgment for PwC on all claims after a bench trial. Although temporal proximity between Botta's SEC whistleblower complaint and his termination suggested potential retaliation, the court found PwC's stated reason for termination—that Botta admitted to fabricating or falsely documenting an internal control during an audit—was credible, supported by corroborating documentary evidence, and uncontradicted by other evidence of retaliatory motive.
