VIN GUPTA Firm's records sought.

Feds are probing a company run by a wheeler-dealer Clinton pal accused by stockholders of wasting millions on the former first couple. InfoUSA, a database marketing company founded by Clinton megadonor said the company would comply with SEC efforts to obtain records re corporate spending, stock trades, awarding 100,000 share options to Bill Clinton without board approval.......and a $3.3M consulting contract for Bill Clinton.

InfoUSA, a database marketing company? Now that's interesting. FReeper Calpernia turned us on to the use of ID theft used by campaigns to fraudulently compile fake donors' names for the FEC that is actually laundered money. The MO is to launder offshore money---then use ID theft to makeup a bunch of "contributors" for the FEC. Besides giving the candidate unlimited funds, the ruse makes voters think the candidate has wide support.

BTW, Vin---just checking to see if you are here legally----let's see your papers.

Out of curiosity I took advantage of the Sales Genie 100 free sales leads offer.

Three quarters of the leads were outdated and I was then harrassed by their telemarketers for more than two months.

Vin Gupta/InfoUSA and the Clintons... perfect together.

This is an incredible threat, and the first that I have heard of it. I hope it becomes more widely known.

I’m sure, if asked, Hillary will say she knows nothing.

EXCERPT For the past four years, the Clintons have jetted around on Vinod Gupta’s corporate plane, to Switzerland, Hawaii, Jamaica, Mexico — $900,000 worth of travel. Gupta's huge donations to the Democratic Party earned him an infamous Lincoln Bedroom overnight; he is a key benefactor of Clinton’s post-presidency — and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential candidacy.

Gupta admits donating $1 million to the Clinton Library and in 1999 gave $2 million for Hillary Clinton’s Millennium New Year’s Eve bash. He has raised over $200,000 for Hillary’s Senate campaigns and given thousands to other Democratic funds.

Vinod Gupta served as a member of Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (appointed by the President of the United States, Bill Clinton). He was nominated as the US Counsel General to Bermuda, and the U.S. Ambassador to Fiji.

Bill has a $3.3 million consulting deal with Gupta’s technology firm while his presidential library got a six-figure gift from Gupta. Clinton signed a consulting agreement in April 2002 to “provide confidential advice and counsel to the chairman and CEO of the company for the purpose of strategic growth and business development.”

InfoUSA made $2.1 million in quarterly payments to Mr. Clinton from July 2003 to April 2005, and in October 2005 entered into a new three-year agreement to pay him $1.2 million. It also gave him an option to buy 100,000 shares of infoUSA stock, with no expiration date.

InfoUSA, led by “Friend of Bill” Gupta, bought Opinion Research Corporation (ORC), a leading polling firm with a large government and business consulting subsidiary. On January 12, 2007, a little more than a month after infoUSA acquired ORC, it established a very interesting relationship (link to PDF):

Vinod Gupta is the father of Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL Correspondent. Opinion Research Corporation will become CNN’s new polling partner as the network moves toward the 2008 elections. Beginning in 2007, polls released by the network will be identified as CNN/Opinion Research Corporation surveys. NEWS HEADER: CNN Pollster Vinod Gupta donates $1000 to Hillary Clinton - says “She’ll be our next President”

Gupta is so enamored with the Clintons that back in his native land, India, he has built little monuments to the Clintons in the form of the “Bill Clinton Science and Technology Center” and the “Hillary Rodham Clinton Mass Communication Center” for the Gochar Intermediate College, Rampur Maniharan, India. Official CNN pollster Vinod Gupta, who controls the Opinion Research polling firm, has already declared Hillary Clinton 2008 winner.
