Prosecutor Hank Shea and convicted securities fraud felon Don Snede will discuss the lure and consequences of white-collar crime in an ethics lecture Wednesday, March 31.

The lecture is sponsored by the College of Business and the campus chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, a professional fraternity that fosters study of business and ethics. The event, free and open to students, faculty, staff and the public, will be at 4:30 p.m. in Ostrander Auditorium of Centennial Student Union.

Shea, one of the country’s most effective white-collar crime prosecutors, is a special assistant U.S. attorney in Minneapolis who continues to see legal and moral wrongdoing by executives despite business schools’ emphasis on ethics for the last two decades.

Snede is a former chief financial officer for Midwest Federal Savings & Loan who, in 1992, after cooperating with authorities, pled guilty to three federal offenses in connection with the failure and collapse of that institution. He was sentenced to two months in a halfway house, two years on probation and ordered to pay partial restitution.

The two will talk about the personal, professional and social consequences of business fraud, and will suggest how current and future business executives can resist and avoid it.
