Description

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 overreachinspired by political ambitionFBI 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 mustlisten cautionary tale with implications for us all Uneven Justice is an eyeopening lesson in the vagaries of justice when an unscrupulous prosecutor is calling the shots
