I know everyone hates these billionaire fat cats who fly around on private jets and call their buddies to get inside info and then make themselves even wealthier....But regardless of who it is, I still find this chilling and disturbing.
2,400 conversations of wire tapping, 130 friends.
Wire tapping used to be about catching the bad guys, the ones who kill & murder. Now bad guys i guess is a broader term. This Raj guy I guess is the new wave of bad guys. Who are the next bad guys?
We think this guy is doing insider trading. We think this guy is doing XXX let's start tapping...
I also find it disturbing they listened to conversations with his spouse which violates a privacy act, and the government officials said, "Aww shucks, we shouldn't have done that, but hey we did catch him so it was worth it!"
Raj appears to be a greedy pig, but it doesn't make it right.
