James Hipwell
James Hipwell is a former ''Daily Mirror'' journalist, writer, organ donation campaigner and whistleblower who was investigated over the so-called 'City Slickers' share tipping scandal along with the paper's then editor, Piers Morgan, and several other members of The Daily's Mirror's newsroom.
==Career and City Slickers scandal==
Between 1998 and 2000, along with his colleague, Anil Bhoyrul, Hipwell worked on the ''Daily Mirrors financial column ''City Slickers'', offering financial news, gossip and share tips. It became very popular, a ''Guardian'' article describing it as the "Column that turns City into showbiz".〔()〕 However, in February 2000 the pair were fired following allegations that they had been giving tips about companies in which they held stock.
The Department of Trade and Industry launched an investigation in 2000 but it did not conclude for several years and the trial did not come to court until October 2005. In 2002 Hipwell gave an interview to The Guardian in which he described the situation as "Kafkaesque". "We are in the invidious position of everyone knowing that we are under investigation by the DTI yet nobody, including us, knows exactly what the scope of the investigation is, who they are talking to, what they are minded to do or when, if at all, there will be an outcome," he said.
On 7 December 2005, following a six-week trial, Hipwell and Bhoyrul were convicted of conspiracy to contravene section 47(2) of the Financial Services Act 1986 contrary to section 1(1) of the Criminal Law Act 1977.
