Description

lmagine the following: lt is the morning of a normal workday for you and millions of others who live in New York City. You go to the gym for a workout and run some errands before heading to the office. Unexpectedly, two FBI agents approach you on the sidewalk, flash their badges - in public view - and begin questioning you about activity at your job. The agents begin spitting out details about your personal life - they know where you were last weekend, they know private details about your family. Your heart is racing, confusion sets in - what is happening?

This scenario may sound like a scene from a movie, but this exact situation happened to Tom Hardin. A former hedge fund trader, Tom turned FBI lnformant as the result of "Operation Perfect Hedge", a Wall St. house-cleaning operation that turned into the largest insider trading investigation in a generation. The series of events that led up to Tom's arrest and conviction for insider-trading would change his life forever.

ln this eye-opening CLE with Lawrence D. Eichen, Esq., Tom shares his journey down the slippery slope into criminal activity and the impact it had on friends and family. Tom and Lawrence discuss the psychological traps which pulled Tom into a spiral of rationalization for poor decision-making and unethical behavior.

Tom takes the audience on an authentic journey of opportunity and temptation, one that mirrors so many professionals who have found themselves employed in high pressure careers. They also discuss several SEC cases filed against attorneys and employees of law firms and legal departments who embarked on insider trading stemming from authorized and unauthorized access to confidential client information.

Tom Hardin

Tom Hardin previously spent much of his career as a financial analyst on Wall St. in New York City. ln 2008, as part of a cooperation agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Tom assisted the U.S. government in understanding how insider trading occurred in the financial services industry. Known as "Tipper X," Tom became one of the most prolific FBI informants in securities fraud history, helping to build over 20 of the 80+ individual criminal cases in "Operation Perfect Hedge," a Wall Street house cleaning campaign that morphed into the largest insider trading investigation of a generation. As the youngest professional implicated in the sting, Tom was tasked with wearing a covert body wire on over 40 occasions to help the FBI bring down some of its biggest targets in the industry.

ln a serendipity of sorts, Tom was invited by the FBI-NYC's office to speak to their rookie agents in 2016 about his experience, including his mistakes in judgement and the psychological underpinnings of his decision-making. Tom's experience has transformed his life and he is now a global keynote speaker, corporate trainer and board advisor on behavioral ethics, compliance, organizational conduct, and culture risk.

Tom holds a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Tom's riveting life story is the subject of his forthcoming book, Wired for Justice: A Tale of Financial Crime, Person al Transformation, and Redemption
