LIBOR scandal trader Tom Hayes on prison, anger and Asperger’s
Who better to explore the road to resilience than someone who has endured one of the most dramatic falls from grace?Tom Hayes was once a high-flying city trader, living a life of wealth and status— until the notorious LIBOR scandal in 2015 changed everything. Convicted and imprisoned, he lost his fortune, his luxury cars and his home - all while maintaining that his conviction was unjust. In 2017, he took his fight to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, and after years of legal battles, his appeal will finally be heard by the Supreme Court next month.His trial also brought an unexpected revelation— his Asperger’s diagnosis, which he argues played a crucial role in his actions and the case against him. In this episode, Tom opens up about life with Asperger’s, the relentless world of high finance, and his experience inside some of Britain’s toughest prisons.This podcast is brought to you by Crisis What Crisis?
