Earlier this week, we told you prosecutors were examining trades made by Raj Rajaratnam in dozens of stocks that were previously undisclosed in the vast insider trading investigation. On the list were shares of Goldman Sachs, which Galleon allegedly traded right around the height of the financial crisis.
Today we learn from Susan Pulliam of The Wall Street Journal that investigators are zeroing in on soon-to-be-former Goldman director named Rajat Gupta. Gupta says he’s unaware of any probe.
Raj and others indicted in the probe are scheduled to go on trail in October. That leaves some time for prosecutors to bring charges against more people.
As part of that focus, the government is examining whether Rajat Gupta—a current Goldman director, former head of McKinsey & Company and close associate of Mr. Rajaratnam’s—shared inside information about Goldman, the people close to the situation say.
No criminal charges or other allegations have been filed against Mr. Gupta, nor is there any indication that investigators are looking at his own stock trading. A spokesman for Mr. Gupta said, “Mr. Gupta is unaware of any examination of any such issue and has done nothing wrong.”

Shut the fuck up, Kouwe
Remember that time that you and the gang made friendship bracelets as part of a business assignment back at Bay Side High. Then when tensions flared, Jessie, Kelly and Slater broke off to form a rival business – Buddy Bands?

Nice work Kouwe! Stick it out, the pricks will eventually be outnumbered by your fans.
Please water the hamster before you guys kill another one. Besides, the pet store already very likely has a file going on you Dealbreaker corporate purchases what with the many gerbils Greg has no doubt expensed and all.
ZachKouwe:
Were you not killed in a US air strike on a house in Baqubah, Iraq, on Jun 7th, 2006? What the fuck are you doing here? Why did you change your name?
GTFO, asshole.

FEED ME, DAMMIT! I NEED MORE PELLETS OR I WILL STOP RUNNING AGAIN. A little Skye in that water bottle wouldn’t hurt either.
Another Raj? Where the fuck is Sanjay? He needs to get in on this.
Kouwe, stop chewing on the wires.
Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid Kouwe?
Goldman is dirty? What else is new
Someone help a slow brotha out and tell me whether or not this is really Kouwe? And how you pronounce “Kouwe?”

Board practice. Gupta got his tip from Chairman Stephen Friedman. What’s the problem here?
@16– not dirty, just know how to force a good bargain.

@9 is Zach’s Mom and shouldn’t be afraid to use her real name
But we’re not counting on having to read to your son much longer. Can’t you just give him a bigger allowance so he can spend his days in the bar with his buddy John Carney.
