Although he was a suburban husband and father, living a far different life than the "Wolf of Wall Street," Michael Kimelman had a good run as the cofounder of a hedge fund. He had left a cushy yet suffocating job at a law firm to try his hand at the high-risk life of a proprietary trader-- and he did pretty well for himself. But it all came crashing down in the wee hours of November 5, 2009, when the Feds came to his door--almost taking the door off its hinges.

He was arrested as part of a huge insider trading case, and while he was offered a "sweetheart" no-jail probation plea, he refused, maintaining his innocence. The lion's share of [this story] was written while Kimelman was an inmate at Lewisburg Penitentiary. In nearly two years behind bars, he reflected on his past, he reveals the triumphs, pains, and struggles, and how, in the end, it just might have made him a better person.
