Upcoming event of possible interest

New York-based retailer Crazy Eddie Inc. was one of the largest securites frauds of its time. (If you don't remember the fraud, perhaps you remember the firm's famous television ads.) And, you have probably had questions from students about it. Baruch's Robert Zicklin Center for Financial Integrity will host Crazy Eddie's cousin, Sam E. Antar, a former CPA and CFO of Crazy Eddie, Inc. for a program on Sept. 7. Mr. Antar now speaks about white-collar fraud and defending against securities fraud. The event is free. I imagine it will be popular.
