Sam Antar

I am a convicted felon and a former CPA. As the criminal CFO of Crazy Eddie, I helped my cousin Eddie Antar and other members of his family mastermind one of the largest securities frauds uncovered during the 1980's. I committed my crimes in cold-blood for fun and profit, and simply because I could.

If it weren't for the heroic efforts of the FBI, SEC, Postal Inspector's Office, US Attorney's Office, and class action plaintiff's lawyers who investigated, prosecuted, and sued me, I would still be the criminal CFO of Crazy Eddie today.

There is a saying, "It takes one to know one." Advise federal and state law enforcement agencies about white-collar crime and train them to identify and catch the crooks. Refer cases to them as an independent whistleblower. Teach about white-collar crime for professional organizations, businesses, and colleges and universities. Professionals can receive CPE or CLE credits.

Additional services include forensic accounting, financial reporting analysis, due diligence, litigation support, whistleblower investigations, and research on companies.

Advised the New Jersey State Assembly Republican Policy Committee about white-collar crime and corruption as an expert witness.

My blog discusses white-collar crime, securities fraud, financial disclosures, the accounting profession, internal controls, Sarbanes-Oxley, government corruption, and other related topics. Red flags and other financial reporting irregularities investigated and reported in this blog are referred to appropriate government agencies as a whistleblower.
