Raj Rajaratnam Shows Up To Court With Enough Lawyers To Either Successfully Argue Innocence Or Win Over Jury With Modern Day Production Of Snow White

By

This could set a precedent for all future accused insider traders.

Rajaratnam came to court with seven lawyers. There is a row of two tables reserved for the defendant and his lawyers and Rajaratnam is sitting at a seat at the far left of the second table, as far away from the jury box as possible. In the first row are his lead defense lawyers, John Dowd and Terence Lynam of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.

Related: “In the conference room was a dwarf whom Mr. Rajaratnam introduced as an analyst hired to cover “small-cap” stocks. He was, in fact, an actor hired for an April Fool’s Day gag.”

    this may take some time…if you’re in the running to be on the jury, when questioned – I suggest stating: “if he was innocent, he wouldn’t need lawyers”

    How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb for Raj?

    Seven-
    One to call Philips Electronics’ CFO before the number
    One to meet is a McKinsey Director after the board meeting
    One to have drinks with the female analyst who’s sleeping with a Philips competitor’s CEO
    One to hire the dwarf for the gag of a little person trying to screw in a light bulb while jumping on a trampoline
    One to funnel the money from the Philip’s info to the Tamil Tigers
    One to tip off Raj’s brothers on how to screw in a light bulb
    One to screw it in

    If I might offer a touch of constructive criticism, I’d like to suggest that you’re trying a wee bit to hard. Take a deep breath, relax, let it flow . . .

    Thanks for expressing your ideas on this blog. As well, a delusion regarding the financial institutions intentions while talking about property foreclosures is that the financial institution will not take my repayments. There is a specific amount of time the bank requires payments from time to time. If you are too deep in the hole, they will commonly require that you pay the particular payment fully. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of payments at all. When you and the bank can find a way to work a thing out, the particular foreclosure process may cease. However, should you continue to miss out on payments wih the new approach, the foreclosed process can pick up exactly where it was left off.
