Jordan Andolini Thomas (born Paul Thompson)[1] is an American attorney, writer, speaker and media commentator.

[1] In an NPR interview, Thomas described his father as someone who believed "the world is rigged, the ends justify the means, and you're either pulling the strings or you're the puppet.

[1] He came to see the error of those ways and has long since made clear: "I am not proud of it and have spent the better part of my life trying to make amends.

[8] He founded and chairs a national legal practice exclusively devoted to protecting and advocating for whistleblowers who report possible securities violations to the SEC.

[6] JPMorgan—Thomas represented a whistleblower responsible for the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission's $307 million settlements with two J.P. Morgan wealth management subsidiaries in December 2015.

[24][25][26][27] In discussing the importance of the record-setting settlement, Andrew Ceresney, the SEC Director of Enforcement, said "[t]he rules concerning the safety of customer cash and securities are fundamental protections for investors and impose lines that simply can never be crossed.

[22] The wrongdoing in this case led to a new industry-wide initiative by the Commission to find similar violations by other firms and was "by far the largest customer protection settlement in SEC history.

The settlement, the largest-ever recovery of its kind, resolved whistleblower allegations that members of Harbinger's investment manager failed to pay millions in New York State tax on performance income for several years.

Harbert Management made a clear choice to skirt the rules and as a result, ordinary New York taxpayers were left footing the bill.

[40] Domestically, Thomas has lobbied key stakeholders to preserve the pillars of the SEC Whistleblower Program—anonymous reporting, employment protections and monetary awards.

As an invited whistleblowing panelist, he contributed to the United States' Phase 4 Report Implementing the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.

[59] In 2020, Thomas was named to the "Enforcement 40" by Securities Docket,[60] and to the "500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers" by Law Dragon.

[68] In both 2013 and 2012, the Ethisphere Institute named Thomas to its listing of "Attorneys Who Matter," which recognizes practitioners in the world of corporate ethics and compliance.
