“It can’t happen to me.” For 30 years, Paul Allen had an impeccable reputation in the financial industry at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. He held positions such as a bank CFO and CEO of Taylor Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp. Then Paul conspired to commit a $2.7 billion fraud. After almost 3 years in prison, he will share his story in hopes of protecting you from the slippery slope.
