    Meet the Professor Who Blew the Whistle on Stock Options Backdating
    Oct 22 2025

    Over the course of Erik Lie’s career, seemingly small decisions have transformed into defining moments. Everything from leaving his native Norway to study at the University of Oregon, to a squash partner’s nudge that he pursue a career as a finance professor. But it was his choice of a research topic—executive compensation—that led to the most significant moment of all: uncovering one of the most explosive corporate scandals of the 21st century.
