The inside story of a case that illustrates the horrific dangers of unfettered prosecution by prosecutors, written by the man who experienced it firsthand. Raj Rajaratnam, the respected founder of the iconic hedge fund Galleon Group, which managed $7 billion and employed 180 people at its peak, chose to stand trial rather than endure the erroneous narrative concocted by ambitious prosecutors looking for a scapegoat for the 2008 financial crisis. For Rajaratnam, an immigrant who had achieved incredible success in his host country, the trial seemed like an opportunity for a fair hearing. However, he did not anticipate the unfettered prosecution fueled by political ambitions, FBI misconduct, the adherence of the judicial system, and lies told under oath by cooperating witnesses. Ultimately, Rajaratnam was convicted and sentenced to eleven years in prison. He served seven and a half years. Meanwhile, no senior banking executive responsible for the financial crisis was charged. "Uneven Justice" is the story of his convoluted and misleading prosecution by forces that, primarily, sought bigger targets. When Rajaratnam refused to support the narrative that would make this happen, he and the Galleon Group became collateral damage. A cautionary tale with implications for all of us, "Uneven Justice" is both a gripping read and an enlightening lesson on the idiosyncrasies of justice, when an unethical prosecutor controls the situation.
