You can see me on Frontline's "To Catch a Trader". I thought they were doing some real investigative reporting but was disappointed to see them use some of my writing to produce a sensational "gotcha" moment. They just used me to tell the story people wanted to hear of big bad Wall Street

I learned that in terms of sentencing the worst crime you can commit is refusing to help the Feds--go to work for the FBI as I was asked to. Wear a wire and help to imprison people I believed to be innocent and still do today.

That is why I wrote the book!

here is what i wrote about the first few moments:

I felt an awful, sudden wave of shock quake through me. I felt stunned, then horrified and sick. I struggled to believe what was happening. My heart throbbed. My head ached. I felt dizzy and nauseous. I feared I might pass out and fought to maintain control. It was really happening. This was really happening. The jury had deliberated for less than a day and found me guilty of both counts. I had just been convicted.
I did get a grip after a minute or so. I didn’t gasp or cry. I stood and found my legs supported my weight. I turned behind me and looked at my aunt in the front row directly behind me; the same spot where she had been for all 14 days of the trial. Her face was a mask of sorrow and disbelief. But thankfully I saw no tears because I could not have maintained composure if she’d lost it. I walked over and gave her a hug while a courtroom packed with strangers gawked at the marvelous spectacle of a freshly convicted man.
