Tom Hardin/Tipper X’s riveting journey – from young hedge fund analyst to wire-wearing FBI informant – is part financial crime thriller, part personal transformation story, and wholly compelling. Hardin joins us with Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital and former White House Communications Director, to talk about the journey and its lessons captured in his new book, Wired on Wall Street: The Rise and Fall of Tipper X, One of the FBI’s Most Prolific Informants. At 28, Hardin was a junior partner in an up-and-coming hedge fund, working to build his dream career in an intensely competitive field. He crossed an important line, was charged with felony securities fraud, and ended up becoming the FBI’s most effective cooperating witness in Operation Perfect Hedge — the largest insider trading investigation in a generation, resulting in over 80 guilty pleas or convictions. Hear Hardin talk with Scaramucci about how ethical failure can begin with tiny rationalizations, his redemptive journey from public disgrace to repairing trust at home and beyond, how a person rebuilds a life after compromising their integrity, and more.
