Description
Thrilling tell-all of a prolific informant in the FBI’s largest insider trading investigation of a generation
Part financial crime thriller, part personal transformation story, and part redemption memoir, Wired on Wall Street: The Rise and Fall of Tipper X, One of the FBI’s Most Prolific Informants tells the riveting true story of Tom Hardin, a young hedge fund analyst turned FBI informant. Known as “Tipper X,” Tom wore a covert wire over 40 times, helping the FBI build more than 20 of the 80+ cases in Operation Perfect Hedge, the largest insider trading investigation in a generation. As the youngest professional caught in the sting, Tom navigated the psychological toll of betrayal, secrecy, and public disgrace. What followed was a powerful journey through shame, fatherhood, and ultimately, personal transformation.
In this gripping memoir, readers will explore:
- Tom’s shocking first encounter with the FBI, when agents revealed chilling knowledge of his most private personal details
- Tom’s high stakes game of psychological chess—wearing a wire for years including terrifying close calls
- Tom’s redemptive journey from public disgrace to resilience, fatherhood, and rebuilding trust with his wife, whose love held strong when most marriages collapse
Wired on Wall Street: The Rise and Fall of Tipper X, One of the FBI’s Most Prolific Informants is a thrilling, entertaining read for anyone drawn to financial crime investigations, ethical dilemmas, and the possibility of personal growth even after deliberate choices that carry lasting consequences.
