As the youngest professional later implicated in the operation and known by his undercover codename "Tipper X," Tom wore a covert body wire to help the FBI build cases against major figures, leading to the largest Wall Street enforcement sweep in a generation. 

In 2016, he was invited by the FBI to share his story with their rookie agents. Today, Tom is a global keynote speaker, corporate trainer, and board advisor on behavioral ethics, compliance, and organizational conduct and culture risk. 

Through intense self-reflection, he took full responsibility for his early career actions, transformed his life, and continues an ongoing journey into understanding human behavior and the forces that drive poor decision-making.

 His life story is the subject of his forthcoming book, Wired on Wall Street, scheduled for release through Wiley in 2026.
