The Whale of Wall St.

How do you tell a story of unprecedented global financial fraud committed by an elusive international fugitive?
In this conversation, Columbia Professors Winnie O’Kelley and David Henry Hwang will discuss the challenges of chronicling one of the generation's greatest financial frauds, perpetrated over the course of a decade by a mild-mannered Wharton School graduate and captured in the international bestseller Billion Dollar Whale. O’Kelley will speak on how she reported on the scandal for The New York Times, and Hwang will share his experience adapting the book for television.
Speakers include:
Winnie O’Kelley, Bloomberg Professor of Professional Practice, Columbia Journalism School
David Henry Hwang, Professor, Theatre School of the Arts, Columbia University
