VINOD Gupta, a high- living CEO pal and fundraiser to the Clintons, is being accused of looting his company's coffers and using shareholder money to fund his lavish lifestyle.Gupta, the CEO of InfoUSA, an Omaha, Neb.-based database company, is coming under fire from investors, including Cardinal Capital, the Greenwich, Conn.-based hedge fund whose last target was newspaper baron Conrad Black, for a variety of alleged offenses, including funneling InfoUSA funds through private companies he controls to pay for things such as jet travel, a fancy yacht and a skybox at University of Nebraska football games.
Gupta did not return a call placed to his office in Omaha.
Despite presiding over a company in a decidedly unsexy industry in an unsexy locale, Gupta moves in elite social circles. He was a guest of the Clintons at the White House, staying in the Lincoln Bedroom, donated $1 million to the Clinton library and helped Hillary Clinton raise money for her senate campaign.

After this New York Post article, Hillary probably wishes she wasn't pictured standing next to Gupta on his home page.
Probably just more of the "culture of corruption, cronyism and incompetence" that Pelosi was speaking about....
Or in that outfit *L*
The Gupta family of Omaha, Neb., is among the more generous sources of student cash. Vinod Gupta is the founder and CEO of American Business Information. Campaign gifts totaling $143,000 tied him at No. 135 on the Mother Jones list of top contributors. His sons, Jess (age 17), Benjamin (14), and Alexander (11), gave an additional $12,000. All this went to two campaigns--Clinton's and Nebraska Gov. Ben Nelson's--in which the senior Gupta had reached his maximum.Jess, a student at Philips Exeter Academy, freely admits he had nothing to do with the donations. "Dad makes those donations in my name," he says. Vinod Gupta insists his son was misquoted.
In fact, all the money came from trust funds set up in the names of the children, according to their father. This is a common practice among the kiddie-cash set. Yet the FEC has ruled in the past that donations from a source over which the donor does not have sole control are illegal.
Ah, the legacy!
Funny -- his site doesn't let a person right-click on anything -- hmmmm.....
Is Gupta a common name? I ask, cuz I wonder if Dimple a relative.
BRILLIANT! </scottishbrogue> Thanks!! ;o)
Gupta is Indian for Smith.
Web Hubbel, ex con.
Who was the cabinet officer who lied to the FBI about cash payments to his mistress and was convicted.
Just about everyone attached to the grifters has seen the inside of prison or the inside of a coffin.
Pelosi and her parallel universe are never questioned by the compliant MSM.
He like many of slick willie's ceo-buddies will be leaving the country FAST!
Notice how the press is virtually ignoring the numbers of FOB's being busted, taken to court, and found guilty of FRAUD and THEFT!
They may make mention but they NEVER connect the dots with the one main string ... william jefforason blyth clinton - impeached, convicted, disbarred criminal ex-prez. A typical lawyer.
