Ash Jen comments on an article at The Economist, “An Unlucky Man,” on the Rajat Gupta verdict:
1. David Sokol, an executive of Berkshire traded on his own account based on information available to Berkshire executives. There was NO case bought against him even when there is 10x more evidence available against him and who [sic] made couple of million dollars directly.
[Lila: Did they wire-tap Warren Buffet and Sokol?]
2. The other Goldman guy who provided information to Rajaratnam still works for Goldman. There was no case bought against him either.
[Lila; Commenter is referring to David Loeb. He doesn’t mention, mind you, Henry King and Mr. X, as well as a possible fourth person at Goldman tipping Galleon, and the multiple employees who had worked at both Galleon and Goldman. He doesn’t mention Blankfein and Gary Cohn who were named publicly by their own senior manager, Greg Smith, in March this year as being the source of Goldman corruption. Rajat Gupta was not mentioned by Smith. Was Smith wire-tapped? Has he been subpoenaed. Of course, Smith, who joined in 2000, wants us to believe Goldman was just bouncing corporate babies on its knees until then. Haha, as the financial press, belatedly points out, and toldja! since we pointed this out repeatedly much earlier.
3. John Edwards clearly violated the rules of election fund [sic]. He got away scot free.
[Lila: He should have. It was a stupid vindictive case]
4. Mr. Corzine is another name.
[Lila: Now we’re talking]
All, I am saying is Indians are blacks of white collar crime in this country. For same level of evidence, they are prosecuted at a much higher rate than white guys. This is exactly what happens for blacks for low level criminal activity.
Black defendants are convicted at an 81 percent rate and white defendants at a 66 percent rate in an all white jury.
When the jury pool includes at least one black potential juror,conviction rates are almost identical.”
“South Asians – Indians” are at highest risk. They are disciplined, hard working and successful. Obama is coming after them with full force. He wants their money so that he can pay the government benefits to even a drug addict….Wake up America…what’s he doing to you…..
Yes have a useless indian Bharara pick up on another successful indian….do this to indians because they are non-confrontational….try doing this to some other ethnic group…all those big thieves who have robbed millions of hard working Americans and are walking scottfree…
Can this country afford four more years of this incompetency? In the end what it does to America when you are warding off all those intelligent, hard working people who made this country….
Rajat Gupta Conviction is the saddest part of Obama Legacy and will cost him dearly…..
Twenty Five Years in Jail for Rajat for a call that was not even recorded…….Preet Bharara…your turn is next……Watch out….
Lila – Thanks for stopping by and checking out my post on how stupid this Rajat Gupta case is.
For the last three years there have been 5 cases where people of Indian origin – proxy Indians like Rjarathnam were thrown to the dogs for some petty stuff.
– Rajarathinam case – Compare with the precedents on Boesky and Milliken cases. I mean, I followed those cases – and cut my teeth on them. Can there be a comparison? How can Rajarathinam be persecuted like this – in the land of Boesky and Milliken?
– How can Alexander Jon be put behind bars for sex – in the fashion industry? In the fashion, music, film industry, going by published data, this a basic given. Yet, no one has been put behind bars. Why Alexander Jon. Have you read on Phil Spector, (linked in the post) who murdered an unwilling actress – and he does jury duty in Alexander Jon case? I have not even started on the Roman Polanski case – where the Who’s Who of the Western world have joined to protect him.
– Worst is the Vikram Buddhi case. Do you put a guy behind bars for saying Death To George Bush?
– In the Ravi Dharun case, one can see that some level of activism paid off. Ravi Dharun deserved a rap on the knuckles for prying into private lives of others and making it into reality show. Good rap on the knuckles at the right time for him.
As for Preet Bharara, he is trying to be Whiter than White.
Coconuts, they are called?
The Gutpa case is so bad…and yet Indians in the US are by and large timid about it. They don’t want to be perceived as ant-American.
Well, considering the kind of criminal behavior being engaged in by the US gvt, some degree of anti-Americanism is not unnatural.
But there is nothing anti-American about questioning jury verdicts!
Americans themselves know that prosecutors are out of control.
Even my blogging. Many Indians read it and agree with me. How many come over and support my blog or post?
One can’t blame them though since the internet is crawling with intelligence agencies of all kinds and all web activity is monitored.
So I understand that some people are just protecting their jobs and pretending to like something that any rational person can see was racist and vindictive.
Thanks for stopping by. Please, do go back and read all my posts, and also my archives of what was happening at the time of Rajat’s supposed crimes

14316Sep752856KEB d46After reading sevearl of the comments, a few things came to mind for me about this topic. It is interesting that people who believe that a homosexual person should embrace their desires and tendencies by being able to find a partner would be the most fulfilling optionfor them, and enything else will lead to a life of not having true happiness, love or joy. There are many people who believe that the number one reason we are here is to find love, love, and be loved. But is that true? Is the main goal in life to find love with another person? Is a person’s life not fulfilled if for some reason they don’t? Just because a homosexual person doesn’t enter into a relationship with another person doesn’t mean they are going to be left to face a life of feeling alone, unloved or like their didn’t fulfill their true purposes in life. If a person who is gay chooses to remain single for the sake of what Bryan listed as his reasons (to lay his life down and glorify God), then why does that have to mean that he will be lonely? I do believe that God is loving, and we are still provided joys, laugther, loving, caring, nurturing relationships with others, even outside of a partner relationship. Marriage or a partnership to another person is not the end all for feeling loved. I believe He will still provide blessings of these types of situations outside of a partner relationship.This also reminds me of an article I read a while back on women and motherhood. Women are physically designed to be the ones to have children. Some women might make the decision, for whatever reason, to not have children. Some people would look at them and say why would you not want to be a mom? God wants us to procreate and have children? You aren’t going to fulfill your purpose in this life, you are going to miss out on so many things . But, I don’t believe that is the case at all. Being a mom isn’t a woman’s life end goal, and her life wouldn’t be left incomplete if she chose to do so. There are many other things that a woman could involve herself in that would provide her with just as much fulfillment in her life than just having children. I feel like these two things in a way relate to each other. If anyone, not just a homosexual person, made the decision for thier own personal reasons, to remain single, why does that equal to living a life that is unfulfilled?VA:F [1.9.20_1166](from 9 votes) 155
