Conversation with a Fraudster: Tom Hardin
Description
Go inside the mind of a fraudster in this engaging fireside chat with Tom Hardin, the former hedge fund analyst turned key cooperating witness in the largest insider trading investigation of a generation.
Hardin will share how ethical drift and industry pressures took him across the line, ultimately resulting in his 2009 guilty plea, which then led to his role assisting the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI in uncovering widespread insider‑trading misconduct.
This conversation will also discuss insights from his new book, “Wired on Wall Street: The Rise and Fall of Tipper X”, which chronicles his journey from ambition to undercover cooperation to rebuilding his life and purpose.
