Every now and then, I come across a reformed fraudster whose story is worth telling to the world through this podcast. Not everyone can travel to a conference or pay to bring a keynote to help train investigators and business owners.

Tom Hughes started as an accountant, stole, stole again (and again) and eventually got caught. I learned that he almost got caught on his first embezzlement but thwarted the interview because he knew the auditors didn't have all the facts. That led to him stealing for many more years until eventually getting caught.

Tom doesn't blame that auditor for his crimes. He blames himself. He has owned his mistakes and now is on a mission (literally) to help others prevent fraud before it occurs.
