Insider trading: From Analyst to FBI informant with Tom Hardin.

Insider trading doesn’t always start with a grand plan. Sometimes it starts with a single decision made in isolation.

In this episode, we talk to Tom Hardin, a former hedge fund analyst turned FBI informant, known in headlines as “Tipper X.” Tom opens up about his descent into insider trading, what it was like to wear a wire for the FBI and the personal and professional aftermath of becoming one of the most prolific cooperating witnesses in modern financial crime history.

We explore how decisions made in isolation can quietly undermine compliance, and how culture, oversight, and mentorship can be the most powerful internal controls an organization has.
