Raj Rajaratnam Prosecution Really Not Sure What Else To Tell You

By

The Galleon founder demonstrated “in his own words” why he’s guilty of insider trading, Assistant US Attorney Reed Brodsky said in the government’s closing statement this morning.

Brodsky, of course, was referring to the various wiretaps played over the last several weeks that included conversations wherein Rajaratnam complimented Danielle Chiesi on how she “played” a tech exec into giving her material non-public information, told a friend he knew to buy shares of a company because “one of our guys is on the board,” and complained about a well-paid tipster slacking off on giving him the good stuff. In related news, don’t forget to vote in the Will He Or Won’t He (Go To Jail) poll, where so far 15% of people think Raj will get off.

    We heard they wouldn’t let Raj take the stand. That’s probably a good thing since he’s already been accused of a lot of alleged crimes.

    I see Raj an Madoff making a cute couple, and I hear Madoff’s a top.

    If they can’t nail this pigs nuts to the wall then the government should just give up and make insider trading legal. Save lots of effort!

    They were afraid Raj would eat the stand.
