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.

Author Biography

Reviews

Simon Feldman has not only wiped the slate clean - his book is a vivid, well written manual for dealing with life in prison. It should be compulsory reading for the misfortunate facing the bruised fruits of their mistakes. Humble, realistic, empathetic, embracing the crime, and writing his truth in graphic prose.

Charles C. Waterstreet, Theatre and film producer, author and former barrister

Feldman's words are haunting. His remorse and shame slowly give way to insight and self-compassion. The path following his release from jail is littered with exhausting attempts to achieve redemption, and setbacks that see him imprisoned in new ways. In his own words, 'the real work is only just beginning'.

Jo Lamble, Clinical Psychologist and author

I have done many fraud cases and thousands of pro bono hours supporting people and families with a mental illness. The chapter regarding the dissociative fugue really hit home, as the real price paid from years of trauma. So, thank you for having the courage to write this book. It's a very important piece on life after conviction and whether, as a society, we are at all interested in rehabilitation.
