EDUCATION SESSION #834
Conversation with Tom Hardin - Tipper X
Once an up-and-coming star of the hedge fund industry, Tom Hardin's trajectory drastically changed with his 2015 sentence for insider trading. Forever branded with the scarlet letter, "F" for felon, he'll tell his cautionary tale. Tom Hardin will share his life leading up to his crimes, his rationalization of illegal decisions and a double life as an FBI informant.

Tom Hardin is "Tipper X," one of the FBI's key witnesses in "Operation Perfect Hedge." Operation Perfect Hedge was the largest insider trading investigation in 25 years and resulted in over 80 guilty pleas or convictions.

BIOGRAPHIES
Tom Hardin
Founder, Tipper X

Tom Hardin previously spent much of his career as a long-short equity analyst focused on the technology sector. 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 hedge fund 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. Since resolving his case in 2015, Tom was invited by FBI-NYC to speak to their rookie agent class in 2016 and now consults and speaks on conduct risk, ethics and compliance issues from his former frontline perspective through his company Tipper X Advisors. He holds a B.S. in Economics with a Finance concentration from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
