Subject: South Asia type person convicted
To:A South Asia type person has been convicted of insider trading. He used to head McKinsey, the criminal enterprise that made money by advising governments to rob the people and hand over a portion of that money to McKinsey.
My Comment
Yes. Gupta is being made the fall guy for opening up India to globalization, a process I’ve criticized repeatedly. But, throwing him under the bus doesn’t undo that; it only targets the Indian community, and it is unjust. Opening up India to globalization was a POLITICAL PROCESS.
One can disagree with it or not. One can say it was fair or not. One can have strikes and bandhs against it, fine. But using the legal system to go to war for your politics is a different thing.
It sets an very dangerous precedent.
Which Indian is safe now? If you are successful, the federal government with its access to every kind of communication, without even a warrant, can drag you out, concoct a case out of hearsay, cut a few deals with some crooked characters and then try you in the media, which is controlled, let’s not forget.
Other immigrants, especially dark-skinned ones, are going to be too afraid to stick with you.
The first thing is to be calm and hope that Mr. Naftalis and his team can bring attention to the actual facts in the case.
