Simon Feldman had everything to live for, and as it turns out, everything to lose.

From co-founding a successful ASX-listed company to embezzling $16.5 million, Simon's story is everything but ordinary. His life took a sharp turn when he was sentenced to four years in Silverwater jail. But it was upon his release that Simon was forced to confront the consequences of his actions and he found himself spiralling into despair. The experience of incarceration left deep scars, and regaining his freedom was confounding, marked by guilt and the struggle to reintegrate into society. Battling PTSD and the emotional toll of his past, he faced the daunting challenge of rebuilding his life.

Yet amidst the darkness Simon discovered resilience. His journey is filled with hard-earned lessons that he now feels compelled to share. In Paying the Price he explores his crime, its fallout and his quest for mental peace. It's a cautionary tale about owning one's mistakes, embracing vulnerability, and the power of redemption, illuminated by the kindness of those who supported him during his darkest days.
