Today on the podcast we have Barry Bekkedam. This is Barry’s first interview since returning from Federal prison last year. What I like most about Barry was his openness and candor as he painstakingly takes us through his remarkable story from immigrant, to starter on the Villanova basketball team (he’s 6’10” tall!), to real estate investor, to multi-billion dollar Main Line investment manager – and then to his problems when some of his clients lost money in the Rothstein Ponzi scheme and then as former Chairman of a bank accused of TARP fraud. Barry took his case to trial and was partially vindicated, but ultimately was sentenced to serve 11 months in a Federal prison camp. Barry’s is an incredible story of resilience through over a decade of issues So, coming up, Barry Bekkedam sets the record straight. On White Collar Week. I hope you will join us.  – Jeff
