Galleon: This Came As A Surprise

By

The Galleon Group, whose founder Raj Rajaratnam was arrested today for insider trading, has stated that they were “shocked” to hear the boss had been escorted out of his apartment building, and had “no knowledge” that the FBI and SEC were listening in on Raj and Co’s convos. According to Big G, the firm is “highly liquid” at this time.

    More importantly, “Galleon says they are liquid.”
    There is going to be a headline in a few hours “Galleon is side-pocketing”

    Well it tells you they were lying because he was arrested at his Sutton Place apartment…not “escorted out of the(office) building.”

    They weren’t. He didn’t attend the weekly morning meeting today nor did he show up at work at all, nobody in the office knew why.

    Ratting out your insider-trading ex-boss is the new sensy.

    What was really a surprise?
    Apparently when Raj was arrested, he was found naked watching DVD #8 of the Band of Brothers wearing only a replica WW2 army helmet with the ace of spades cleverly tucked into the webbing.
