About the Book

This compelling memoir by former investment analyst Roomy Khan describes her meteoric rise to great wealth on Wall Street and her eventual crash to earth.

In 2013, Khan appeared on 60 Minutes to discuss her role in an epic insider-trading scandal. This is the full story of her journey from immigrant roots to astounding financial success, her involvement in an illegal trading scheme, and her subsequent roles as government informant and convicted felon. Her road to success included Ivy League schools, multimillion-dollar homes, and top jobs in Silicon Valley -- fertile ground for sharing information about the high-tech companies that would change the face of the American economy. Omitted from the 60 Minutes piece were many intriguing details of how she worked with the feds, how she used cell phones belonging to her maid and gardener, and much, much more.

Khan presents the first account of the entire series of events leading to the downfall of Raj Rajaratnam, founder of the Galleon Group hedge fund. She was his primary source of information during the years leading up to his trial and imprisonment. With twenty-plus years in the technology industry and on Wall Street, she was in a position to feed him valuable information about the booming computer industry.

This sobering cautionary tale offers startling insights into the true nature of insider trading on Wall Street and the culture that spawned the excesses of the period.
