Everett Stern

CEO & Intelligence Director, Tactical Rabbit

Everett Stern currently serves as CEO and Intelligence Director of Tactical Rabbit, a private intelligence agency that provides clients with actionable business intelligence. He made international headlines as a government whistle-blower who helped uncover one of the largest banking scandals of all time. When Stern joined HSBC Bank in 2012, he discovered that the bank was facilitating the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars by terrorist organizations and major drug dealers, in clear violation of U.S. law. Stern quit HSBC and filed a whistle-blower claim with the SEC. In late 2012, in part as a result of Stern's efforts, HSBC agreed to pay a record $1.9 billion in fines to U.S. authorities. Stern later founded Rabbit Capital Management, a hedge fund, dedicated to uncovering fraud and money laundering activity that feeds the financial needs of terrorist organizations and drug cartels. He has been featured in dozens of news articles and broadcasts, and appeared in a Netflix documentary, "Dirty Money," on Wall Street and corporate greed.
