    Bill Gates pleas for mercy for convicted Goldman Sachs Rajat Gupta


    Gupta was convicted in June on three counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy for leaking stock tips to Galleon Group co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, the mastermind behind the biggest hedge fund insider trading scheme in U.S. history. Gupta faces 20 years in prison on the most serious of the counts.

    Ahead of sentencing on Oct. 24, Gates and Annan are among at least 200 to write letters to U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff on Gupta's behalf


    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    too bad Gupta won't be subjected to a no drop hanging. He deserves that or worse..........unless of course he repays 3X that which he stole.

    Gates probably profited by this somehow and he is trying to cover his ass and make it look like a grand gesture on his part to show that Gupta was a good humanitarian--"Gupta's service as chairman of an organization fighting AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria."
    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

    Indians are in an uproar about the Rajat Gupta trial, this will undoubtedly help with his philanthropic endeavors over there.

    He should be hung high. After all, insider trading should be reserved for our duly-elected "public servants" in Congress and to them alone.

    This can't be right. I've been repeatedly told that people representing corporations have no personal liability in criminal acts.
