Beyond Operation Perfect Hedge : The Roomy Khan Story

Operation Perfect Hedge was an one of the most successful and aggressive investigations into wrongdoing on Wall Street. It would bring down billionaires, hedge fund managers, lawyers and members of boards of directors who had traded on confidential information. It would redefine the area of compliance and change the hedge fund industry forever. At the center of this investigation, was Roomy Khan, who had made her way on Wall street as an analyst and trader in high technology stocks. She cooperated with the federal government for over 6 years during which she expounded the mechanics of the financial industry, various conduits of information and ultimately testified in federal court. She was personally charged with wire fraud and insider trading and she served 1 year in the federal prison. Roomy's case and her role have been cited extensively in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and on major television business networks such as CNBC., research papers and media. Now she is telling her story at business schools and other venues. Roomy aims to share her cautionary tale and industry insights to educate audience and prepare them to face ethical challenges in the business world.
