Prosecutors said Tom was the ringleader of a conspiracy to influence the rate. Tom says he was made a scapegoat for the financial crisis and that what he did was commonplace. He ended up spending five and a half years in prison before being released in 2021. Then in 2025 the Supreme Court overturned his conviction. *LIBOR has now been replaced by other benchmarks. 🤝 Want 1:1 financial help from us?
