The call took place at the end of September 2008, in the midst of the financial meltdown, when Rajaratnam appeared to be struggling. “I’m long 25 and I’m taking the pain,” he said, referring to his stake in AMD stake. “But I’m, you know, I’m a warrior. They can’t kill me, they can’t kill me. October’s my month.” [NYP]

    It means that all the nice girls called him “long 25″

    The jury is out as to whether the length unit is mm(seeing as he’s a fat fuck), cm(unlikely) or inches(hahaha)

    As I’m in the know and have had my mouth down there I ain’t telling.

    “Raj, you thought that it was something like out of a comic book, brother; but we’re talking about real life! I was sitting in Parts Unknown waiting for the next spaceship to higher planes, and the lightning bolts came down from the sky, and the warriors spoke, and they said, “make it to the Garden.” Well the Ultimate Warrior showed and, Raj, you gave the challenge, and the Ultimate Warrior and the little warriors with the painted faces rose to the challenge, and they conquered! I’ve taken all the little warriors through all the darkness and all the pain, and, Raj, if you want a piece of me, or anybody thinks they can take on all the warriors, I’m not hard to find. I’ll be on the next spaceship to Parts UnKNOWN!”

    Before Trial Interview Interlude:

    What’s beef? Beef is when you need two snacks to go to sleep
    Beef is when your Raj ain’t safe up on the Street
    Beef is when I see you
    Guarantee me an IPO, ooh baby

    Prison Interview Interlude:

    What’s beef? Beef is when you reach down grabbing at your feet
    Beef is when they roll no less than thirty deep
    Beef is when I see you
    Looking though my legs back at you, ouch baby
