There is a thread down yonder about how Sachs execs retire at 40yrs and then pursue high political seats.

‘Since the amount involved in the case is running into crores of rupees.....
For those of you less conversant with Indian money, a crore is 10,000,000 rupees, or about $217,000 at current exchange rates.
Holy smokes! The dollar has dropped in value by a half in two years. In 2007 a dollar bought 44 rupees...
Oooooops. Me bad. A dollar buys 46.93 rupees.
This is peanuts compared to having a safe school czar who counseled a kid to let an adult man molest him.
