When Search Fails: Use Insider Info
March 18, 2011
Why not look up what one needs on Bing or Google? Well, for some questions those services are clueless. What’s the fix? Just ask someone who knows. We are getting more interested in this blue chip, white collar information centric approach.
We just couldn’t pass this story up: Indianexpress.com reveals that “Raj Rajaratnam Got ‘Red Hot’ Info”. We quite like the “red hot” part.
At the heart of the matter is the alleged insider trading and the legal procedure involving Raj Rajaratnam. He is accused of using proprietary information on AMD to rake in illicit loot. Rajaratnam has pleaded not guilty, but recordings and recollections of colleagues who have already pleaded guilty, indicate otherwise.
The article includes juicy details on secrets, payments,promises, and even a supposed “intimate relationship.” Naturally, a scandal isn’t complete until someone brings up an intimate relationship.
Just to quote one passage:
” ‘We have to keep radio silence on this. OK?’ Rajaratnam tells Chiesi on one call, and Chiesi responds, ‘Oh, Please. That is my pleasure.’ Rajaratnam says, ‘not even to your little boyfriends you know?’ “
Ah, so it looks like he’s not just a person who knows how to work around the weaknesses of free Web search systems, but he also appears to have what might be described a “condescending manner. Let’s see what happens in the end…. The outcome of the legal matter will be searchable in Bing and Google. What do you think?
