Tom Hayes (born October 1979[1]) is a former trader for UBS and Citigroup who was convicted for conspiracy to defraud and sentenced to 14 years in prison (reduced to 11 years on appeal) for conspiring with others to dishonestly manipulate the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor)[2] as part of the Libor scandal. Hayes, in the course of his defence, asserted managers were aware of his actions, and even condoned them.[3] At trial Hayes was diagnosed with mild Asperger syndrome.
