And I would guess that ol’ Raj is a big, fat, flight risk.
Liberals = do as I say, not as I do
They have a monopoly on stealing money.
Raj Rajaratnam....
No doubt that he too was born in Hawaii - I’m sure.
I hope to see the Omaha Commie billionaire Warren Buffett snagged for insider trading someday.
Only Goldman Sachs guys get to insider trade now.
How about a policy by which an informant gets a percentage reward of the malfeasance?
And, he was a BIG time contributor to Hilary. Wiki quotes a newspaper column that alleges he’s also the biggest single contributor the the Tamil Tigers. What a piece of work.
A manager at Intel Capital.
This guy is TOAST! Intel doesn’t mess around with things like this.
What a shock. It is like a broken record. Dodd, Obama, Clinton, Schumer, Dem Senatorial Committee bigtime recipients as usual of another rich sleazebag.

Executives charged included Robert Moffatt, senior vice president and executive in IBM’s systems and technology group, and Rajiv Goel, who is Intel treasury’s managing director of investments. The SEC filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Moffatt and Goel allegedly provided insider information about companies including Sun Microsystems and Intel.
Other individuals charged include Raj Rajaratnam, a portfolio manager with hedge fund Galleon Group, who gained close to $25 million in illegal profits, according to the SEC. Rajaratnam is considered the 559th richest man in the world according to Forbes magazine. Others charged in the complaint include Anil Kumar, a director at McKinsey, and Danielle Chiesi and Mark Kurland of New Castle Funds.
“Raj Rajaratnam is not a master of the universe, but rather a master of the rolodex,” said Robert Khuzami, director of the SEC’s division of enforcement. “He cultivated a network of high-ranking corporate executives and insiders, and then tapped into this ring to obtain confidential details about quarterly earnings and takeover activity,” Khuzami said.
Goel allegedly provided insider tips to Rajaratnam about certain Intel quarterly earnings and a pending joint venture concerning Clearwire, in which Intel has invested, the SEC said. Based on the insider information, Rajaratnam executed trades on Galleon’s behalf. The tips netted Goel close to $250,000 in illicit profits after Rajaratnam executed trades for Goel’s personal brokerage account based on confidential tips concerning Hilton and PeopleSupport.
I’m sure he donated to all of the great liberal causes.
Other than being just another inside trader (like they’re rare or something)
Under the bus you go.
Ken-Ya believe it. Another Radical terrorist supporter.

Raj Rajaratnam recently (September 2009) pledged to donate a million US dollars to help with the rehabilitation of former LTTE ( Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam )combatants.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTTE
The Tigers, who during the height of their power possessed a well-developed militia cadre, were notorious for recruiting child soldiers, for carrying out civilian massacres, suicide bombings and various other high profile attacks, including the assassinations of several high-ranking Sri Lankan and Indian politicians like Sri Lankan President Ranasinghe Premadasa in 1993, and former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991.
Fascinating. Perhaps Algore was one of the 'insiders'? I can't verify that, 'cuz I just made it up, but so what, that's the modern standard that the leftists use.
“He said the case should cause financial professionals considering insider trades in the future to wonder whether law enforcement is listening”
Sure it will. They’ll be a lot more careful in future.
'Greed is not good,'' Bharara said. ''This case should be a wake-up call for Wall Street.''When the felon George Soros bought the Presidency for an empty suit from Kenya, that was the wake-up call.
The blame here should go not to “greed” but to dishonesty.
