Tom Hardin previously spent much of his career as a hedge fund analyst in New York City. In 2008, as part of a cooperation agreement with the 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 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. After resolving his case in 2016, Tom was invited by the FBI’s New York City office to speak to their rookie agent class. He has since become a sought-after corporate trainer and speaker on a global scale, addressing issues related to fraud and behavioral ethics based on his unique, first-hand experience. Tom’s riveting life journey will serve as the subject of his debut book, set to be published in 2024.
