Tom Hardin previously spent much of his career as a financial 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, 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 compliance, conduct risk, and behavioral ethics based on his unique, first-hand experience. His memoir, Wired on Wall Street, will be published by Wiley in February 2026.Wired on Wall Street: https://www.tipperx.com/bookConnect with Tom on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tipperx/
