Speaking on
The inside story of his experiences and involvement with insider trading
Wednesday, March 7, 2012
1:00 PM talk, followed by Q&A session
Trustees Pavilion at Ramapo College of New Jersey

Garrett Bauer, a trader who plead guilty to insider trading, obstruction of justice and money laundering in December 2011 in a conspiracy that lasted 17-years and netted some $37 million. The case is one of the largest, longest-running insider trading schemes ever prosecuted and among the more complex unveiled in the midst of a federal crack down on insider trading. In addition to forfeiting some $23 million in assets earned off the trades and homes purchased with the proceeds, Mr. Bauer faces as much as 25 years when sentenced on four felony counts in March 2012.

Just prior to his sentencing date, Mr. Bauer will talk about his experience and lessons learned.
