He attended Iona Preparatory School, Boston College (B.A. 1975) and the Fordham University School of Law (J.D. 1979). In 2001 Maloney and Lincolnshire Management were sued by activist investors that claimed Maloney personally misappropriated $7.6 million from the investment fund.

Maloney Chair in Business Law at Fordham's School of Law was established and endowed by Maloney. In November 2008, Maloney and his wife Nancy made a $5 million gift to endow the T.J. and Nancy Maloney Library at Fordham Law School.
