Episode 30 Why They Do It: Inside the Mind of a White Collar Criminal – A Discussion With Author Eugene Soltes What drives an individual to commit white-collar crimes? Eugene Soltes, professor of business administration at Harvard Business School and author of Why They Do It: Inside the Mind of a White Collar Criminal, joins host Matt Adams to dig into this topic from a social science and historical perspective. The episode takes a look at how white-collar crime has been perceived over the last century in the United States – from an inherent element of capitalism to today's highly regulated environment. Eugene and Matt also discuss why individuals become involved in such schemes and what role technology plays in giving the illusion that it's a victimless crime. You'll learn more about Eugene's research for his book as well as his latest studies into how businesses can use data analytics to detect, prevent and respond to reputational and regulatory threats.

So he speaks with Eugene Soltes, professor at the Harvard Business School and author of Why They Do It: Inside the Mind of the White-Collar Criminal.

Eugene Soltes is an author and finance professor at Harvard Business School. Over the past eight years, give or take, he’s spent a lot of time with many big-time executives and professionals who have been convicted of major financial crimes, such as; cooking the books, fraud, Ponzi schemes, and insider trading.
