Sam soon learns Eddie's father, his cousins Mitchell Antar, Allen Antar, and Ben Kuszer were setting him and Eddie up to take the fall for the frauds at Crazy Eddie so on March 8, 1989, Sam met with US Attorney Dan Gibbons and two FBI investigators in an effort to negotiate a plea bargain agreement US Prosecutors ultimately gained access to key documents in Israel which provided evidence of secret Antar family bank accounts through a treaty known as the Hague Convention. One account at Bank Leumi in Tel Aviv showed Eddie Antar, Sam M. Antar, Rose Antar (Sam M.’s wife), Mitchell Antar (Eddie’s brother), Ben Kuszer (Eddie’s brother-in-law), and Debbie Rosen Antar (Eddie’s first wife) as co-owners. Bank documents detailed almost $8 million in cash deposits from 1979 to 1983. This account was never disclosed on their tax returns and all deposits came from funds skimmed from Crazy Eddie. In June 1992, Eddie Antar was captured in Yavne, Israel. That very same day, FBI agents arrested Mitchell and Allen Antar. There was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges against Sam M. Antar, Ben Kuszer, and other family members due to massive document destruction and statute of limitations issues. Instead, the SEC brought civil actions against them in seeking to recover ill-gotten gains. Sam Antar is a convicted felon and a former CPA. As the CFO of Crazy Eddie, Mr. Antar helped mastermind one of the largest securities frauds uncovered during the 1980s. In June 2012, the Huffington Post named Sam Antar one of the 25 most dangerous people in financial media (“dangerous in a good way”).

Crazy Eddie: Part 2 - "The Chosen One" From 1975 to 1980, Sam attended Bernard M. Baruch College and majored in public accounting. Eddie Antar and other family members believed that his formal college education in public accounting would help them execute more sophisticated financial crimes in the future. Therefore, the family paid his tuition as well as a full-time salary while he attended college. He continued working at Crazy Eddie at nights, weekends, holiday breaks and even summer vacation. In 1980, Sam graduated Magna Cum Laude and was on the Dean’s List. The Antars were ready to take full advantage of his accounting education by making him Crazy Eddie’s de facto Chief Financial Officer. This position allowed him to execute more sophisticated crimes on behalf of the family. Sam Antar is a convicted felon and a former CPA.

He advises law enforcement agencies and professionals about white-collar crime and trains them to catch the crooks. His clients include government agencies, law firms, accounting firms, independent investment research firms, hedge funds, public companies, and other organizations. Material from his blog has been used in investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission and in class action lawsuits filed against certain public companies for improper accounting practices. In December 2008, Mr. Antar’s blog was recommended by the Journal of Accountancy. In August 2009, he testified as an expert witness on corruption for the New Jersey State Assembly Republican Policy Committee.

If you lived in the New York Tri-State area, you may be familiar with a chain of electronics stores known as "Crazy Eddie". It was, at the time, the largest white collar fraud case of its kind. Friend of the show and former Crazy Eddie CFO Sam Antar takes time to detail his role in the company as well as the nefarious activities of others within the day-to-day operations at Crazy Eddie.

On September 19, 2019, Odd Lots hosted its first-ever live event at the WNYC Greene Space in downtown New York City. With an all-star lineup of guests, the show featured convicted white-collar criminal Sam Antar, a panel on sovereign debt with Lee Buchheit and Brad Setser, and a discussion on MMT with Stephanie Kelton. We even had a surprise guest, SPY kid Kevin McGrath, not to mention two musical acts: country-singing economist Merle Hazard and a performance by Joe himself. Be sure to check out videos from the event on Bloomberg's Markets and Finance channel on YouTube. 

If you lived in NYC a few decades ago, you probably have heard of Crazy Eddie, an electronics retailer that was famous for its outlandish ads on TV. What most people didn't know until after it went public, is that the company was built on financial fraud. In this week's episode of the Odd Lots podcast, we speak with its former CFO Sam Antar about the company's shenanigans, and how it all came undone. 

On this episode, we’re putting Freud to fraud and getting inside the minds of crooks. Today’s white collar criminals have decades of technological evolution at their fingertips, creating new opportunities for fraudsters to inflict crippling loss to organizations. Which means it’s time to update and expand the elements of the traditional Fraud Triangle, to account for this new and vastly different world. The Fraud Pentagon Donald Cressey created the original concept of the Fraud Triangle way back in the 1950s to explain why someone might decide to commit fraud. The three original elements of the triangle are Pressure, Opportunity, and Rationalization, but we need to be gravitating more toward the advanced meta-model of fraud which also considers the act of concealment strategy and the conversion piece. This introduces two new elements to the Fraud Triangle, expanding it into the Fraud Pentagon:  Arrogance, especially unchecked arrogance, enables individuals to see themselves as superior or entitled to the point where policies and laws simply do not apply to them. Competence contributes in two ways: a greater understanding of procedures expands on the Fraud Triangle’s Opportunity element, but it also enables them to create a wall of trust that shields them from suspicion. Get inside the mind of a fraudster  Let’s take a look at Sam Antar, the CFO of Crazy Eddie.  For Antar, arrogance was not only the foundation on which Crazy Eddie was built, it was the soil on which the seeds of fraud were planted. Most people aren’t willing to start a public company for the main purpose of defrauding the public, and as far as this fraudster goes, it takes a real amount of arrogance to do that.  His actions also perfectly represent the two ways a fraudster can use competence to steal. He knew the business of accounting and how to socially control the situation to Crazy Eddie’s advantage. He was a nice guy. He knew he had to get people to like him, trust him, and respect him to lower their levels of skepticism. If you’re nice to people, they’ll be nice to you — like looking away or not asking the tough questions.  What you can do By utilizing all five elements, you’re going to be more able to identify potential risks beyond legitimate individuals who simply have arrogance and competence as part of their persona.  First, start with a hands-on cultural assessment to determine the ethical pulse of your organization. Next, make it known to your board and ethics team that you have zero fraud tolerance within the organization, including at the top. Finally, make periodic checks to monitor the pressure points and values that affect individual behaviors.  Final thoughts We need to pay more attention to the human element of fraud. In doing so, we’ll understand fraud a lot better and be able to build more effective controls.
