Based in extensive research, including transcripts of FBI-wiretap conversations, Fallen Angel is an insightful account of a remarkable man and the extraordinary events surrounding him: this is the real story of Rajat Gupa, an orphaned immigrant from India who managed to reach dizzying heights in the US corporate sector; Preet Bharara, the Indian-born US prosecutor who made it a personal mission to send Gupa to prison; Jed S. Rakoff, the Gandhian judge; Raj Rajaratnam, the jailed larger-than-life ‘stockster’ who was a stock traders and also the richest Sri Lankan-born man on earth: Danielle Chiesi, the former beauty queen who used sex to pry out corporate secrets; Robert Moffatt, who could have been the CEO of IBM but went to prison instead; and Lloyd C. Blankfein, the chairman of Goldman Sachs, either the smartest or the most evil investment banker on the planet. Although the verdict is out, the mystery remains: several jury members were in tears after delivering the verdict and nearly everyone who has known Gupta believes he is innocent-so what really happened?
