About this audiobook

Raj Rajaratnam, the respected founder of the iconic hedge fund Galleon Group, which managed seven billion and employed 180 people in its heyday, chose to go to trial rather than concede to a false narrative concocted by ambitious prosecutors looking for a scapegoat for the 2008 financial crisis. Naively perhaps, Rajaratnam had expected to get a fair hearing in court. As an immigrant who had achieved tremendous success in his adopted country, he trusted the system. He had not anticipated prosecutorial overreach-inspired by political ambition-FBI fabrications, judicial compliance, and lies told under oath by cooperating witnesses. In the end, Rajaratnam was convicted and sentenced to eleven years in prison. He served seven and a half. Meanwhile, not a single senior bank executive responsible for the financial crisis was even charged. Uneven Justice is the story of his bewildering and confounding prosecution by forces who, quite frankly, were looking for bigger game. When Rajaratnam refused to support the narrative that would make that happen, he and the Galleon Group became collateral damage. A must-listen cautionary tale with implications for us all, Uneven Justice is an eye-opening lesson in the vagaries of justice when an unscrupulous prosecutor is calling the shots.

This man is very innocent. Very sad to see how this man's life was destroyed. It is a heartbreaking story. Everyone must read. The term "fake news" was very well understood these days. There is a very high chance that the Jury may have been insinuated by fake news a decade ago. Even educated fellows or even traders cannot understand the MNPI. Even murky laws cannot be even clearly defined in Game-Stop discussion, twitter discussions, reddit discussions, somepeople's personal ill speculations, Wall-Street dinner, and more everything is information and noise. All will be foul play. America should apologize to this brave man who stands for his principles. Many great CEOs are Indians these days. Even the Vice President is of Indian origin. Everyone accepts it now, but Raj grew too fast so Uncle Tom couldn't tolerate it. America should apologize to this brave man.
