The former McKinsey director pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud in Federal District Court in Manhattan.

Mr. Kumar told the court that he had leaked to Mr. Rajaratnam that Advanced Micro Devices was planning to acquire ATI Techonologies. The leak occurred in March 2006 before news reports about the deal had surfaced. He said that Mr. Rajaratnam told him, “Anil, you are a hero.”

Kumar, visibly crying, also apologized to his colleagues “for the shame they have suffered,” but did not specify if he was talking about shame as it related to insider trading, or for the rap AK wrote and recorded while at the firm.

    McKinsey sucks harder than UBS, both of which have sent former employees to prison this week.

    Smart career move.
    A little hard time = street cred = chart magic.
    Plus with McKinsey on his resume, Anil Kumar could be the next CEO of Death Row Records.

    @8, here's the song from Weekend at Bernie's II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ_y3YohJ10
    Close but no cigar. Not too many steel drums in Indian music these days.

    @10,
    I'll type quickly because I realize that your ten minute smoke break must almost be over and the chickens won't pluck themselves.
    If you'd consider a new position with more responsibility I have a shovel and a shovel ready project for you.

    @12 = B of A investment banker who started out as an analyst at Dean Witter when it was part of Sears and did a long stint at Prudential Securities before landing a 3 year deal in the late 90s as a tech banker at Robby Stevens only to be canned at the end and picked up in 2005 (after be a 'consultant' for a few years) as a 10th year VP in the FIG group at B of A. Nice.

    @13, you lost me at BofA. Is yours a "feel good story" I'll have my assistant get the popcorn.

  15. Posted by guest | January 7, 2010 at 12:16 PM

    @13, BofA investment banker is an oxymoron. Tool.

    @10,
    You're looking for outrage? Please see @13, as his/her panties are in a wad.

    Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!
