Preet Bharara convicts Rajat Gupta! "Desi vs.Desi" cartoon by Chaitanya Raj Goyal

The recent news on Rajat Gupta's conviction was heartbreaking! This guy who was orphaned in his teens, graduated from IIT Delhi and after attending Harvard rose on to become the MD of McKinsey for a decade and a director at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co. Today, he became the most prominent executive to be convicted in a five-year U.S. crackdown on insider trading at hedge funds.

Preet Bharara - the famous Indian American Lawyer known for his expertise in white collar corruption cases (also named by the TIMES as 100 most influential people in the world) was the one to put Gupta's American dream to an end. Gupta who is also the the co-founder of the Indian School of Business and has contributed to the society in a number of charitable ways was termed 'unlucky' by the emotional jury members, some of whom wept as he was announced guilty! 


Well whats done is done! The fight put up by Bharara was indeed 'Pretty Karara' and hope others learn from Gupta's act of leaking 'Gupt' info. to outsiders. Though I really feel Mr. Gupta was extremely unlucky................... in terms of getting caught! :)
