Crisis What Crisis?

Wrongly convicted Libor trader Tom Hayes tells his incredible story of resilience.


Listen Later

Tom Hayes is the city trader who spent five years in prison and who lost his wealth, reputation and home thanks to an appalling miscarriage of justice. Since his conviction in 2014, Tom has always maintained his innocence and the Supreme Court has now officially confirmed that he was, in fact, innocent.

In this emotional episode Tom explains how managed the anger and bitterness that came with the near total unravelling of his life. He also talks about how the trial brought an unexpected revelation – his Asperger’s diagnosis , which he argues played a crucial role in his actions and the case against him.

And Tom – who was initially sentenced to 14years, later reduced to 11 - talks at length about his experiences inside some of Britain’s toughest prisons and his 10year fight for justice.

This episode was first released in February.

Five Lessons You'll Learn:

Denial delays the pain but doubles the damage.

Your story’s not over unless you quit.

You lose control, you lose yourself.

Rock bottom builds harder fighters.

You can lose everything and still rebuild.
