Unlike the many perpetrators of corporate and securities fraud, Antar is not bashful about calling himself, or at least his previous self, a morally questionable and highly deplorable criminal. Though he could have disappeared after his involvement in such a remarkable scam, he chooses instead to speak about his mentality and behavior as a way of deterring future business students and accountants from engaging in practices that could defraud and debilitate such large sects of the unknowing population.
