Story
When Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail in 2009, Browder cast aside his business career and made it his life’s mission to pursue justice for Sergei. One of the first steps of that mission was to uncover who had killed Sergei and profited from the $230 million corruption scheme that he had exposed. As Browder and his team tracked the money that flowed out of Russia—through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas—they discovered that Vladimir Putin himself was one of the beneficiaries of the crime.

William Barr’s first tenure as attorney general under President George H.W.

In this candid memoir, Barr takes listeners behind the scenes during seminal moments of the 1990s, from the LA riots to Pan Am 103 and Iran Contra. Thirty years later, Barr faced an unrelenting barrage of issues, such as Russiagate, the COVID outbreak, civil unrest, the impeachments, and the 2020 election fallout.

How is it possible that a once-in-a-century pandemic that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and left millions more jobless didn't also destroy the country’s economy? One of the biggest reasons: Jay Powell and the Fed. Trillion Dollar Triage is the inside story of how an unassuming civil servant created trillions of dollars from thin air, fended off a barrage of attacks from Donald Trump, and made sure the worst economic shock since the 1930s didn’t turn into a second depression.

Innovations rarely come from “experts.” Elon Musk was not an “electric car person” before he started Tesla. When it comes to improbable innovations, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else.

From trade to technology to military might, competition between the United States and China dominates the foreign policy landscape. But this battle for global influence is also playing out in a strange and unexpected arena: the movies. The film industry, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, is the latest battleground in the tense and complex rivalry between these two world powers. In recent decades, as China has grown into a giant of the international economy, it has become a crucial source of revenue for the American film industry.

Publisher's Summary
Raj Rajaratnam, the respected founder of the iconic hedge fund Galleon Group, which managed seven billion dollars and employed 180 people in its heyday, chose to go to trial rather than concede to a false narrative concocted by ambitious prosecutors looking for a scapegoat for the 2008 financial crisis. Naively perhaps, Rajaratnam had expected to get a fair hearing in court. As an immigrant who had achieved tremendous success in his adopted country, he trusted the system. He had not anticipated prosecutorial overreach - inspired by political ambition - FBI fabrications, judicial compliance, and lies told under oath by cooperating witnesses. In the end, Rajaratnam was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison. He served seven and a half. Meanwhile, not a single senior bank executive responsible for the financial crisis was even charged.
Uneven Justice is the story of his bewildering and confounding prosecution by forces who, quite frankly, were looking for bigger game. When Rajaratnam refused to support the narrative that would make that happen, he and the Galleon Group became collateral damage.
A must-listen cautionary tale with implications for us all, Uneven Justice is an eye-opening lesson in the vagaries of justice when an unscrupulous prosecutor is calling the shots.

Critical Learning & Flaw In the System
My interest in this book was to merely understand details of this landmark case, with the appreciation that it is merely the author's side of the story. Undoubtedly, given the pioneering circumstances of this case it provides material for many legal precedence as to what not to do or to do differently. To me the most significant of this is the appointment of the Jury. It is totally unrealistic to expect an average person (with no background in investment trading) to understand the concept of MNPI, let alone comprehend all the facts presented during the trial to form an opinion. Even with the evidence of wiretaps, which are easily comprehensible to an everyday person, the practices inherent to the specific industry needs to be taken into consideration. The panel of jurors in this case were in no position to do this. Thus, the rationale and approach to selecting a jury for a criminal case for a murder trial or something of that nature cannot apply to this situation, albeit both being criminal cases. I have no opinion on whether the author was guilty or innocent, notwithstanding a person should not be deemed guilty merely because they are wealthy and adept at their craft.

Fascinating Counterpoint
The overall story is good, suffering somewhat from some repetitive fact presentation as all the evidence is laid out.
It’s fascinating to compare this to the prevailing public narrative (that can be witnessed in “the billionaire’s apprentice”).
Raj stays measured in his arguments, and doesn’t stoop to ad hominem attacks or insults…rather making his personal judgments based on the behaviors of those he’s critical of.
While it’s certainly possible that he’s cherry picking the specific allegations for the book…he presents a compelling and believable defense for himself & a damning critique of a legal system getting caught up in public opinion.

A one sided view of a broken justice system
There are two sides to every story and somewhere in the middle is the truth. This was one side of the story. Hearing both sides or seeing the trial would help but I appreciate all the details and background provided by Raj. I believe I have similar qualities and tend to standup when I believe in something, sometimes to a fault. I recognize all the work and effort it takes to document your position so this leads me to believe Raj but again I don’t have the facts. Regardless, it was an eye-opening tale of how our justice system operated in this case, from one perspective.

I am so thankful you were willing to write this story. I was appalled at the prosecutor’s blatant misconduct and the judge’s ineptitude! I’m also upset at CNBC for not doing a better job of searching for the facts to dispute the common narrative! You are amazing!!

outstanding!!! not to be missed!
this is an excellent well written account of what happens from over zealot prosecutors. This read like a novel, of how the US Government can unfairly ruin someone. Raj had the balls and money to fight for justice, although the system was stacked against him. This is a terrific account of a world class hedge fund manger who has the moral courage to stand up for what is right. This book expose the unfairness of the US justice system. The US has more people in prisons per capita than any other country in the world! Our system is broke!

WOW what a great book!
Raj has every right to be upset and write this book. Spending 8 years in prison for a non violent crime is crazy. When rapists and domestic abuse cases often get off free. Raj has a great story to tell about how the FBI works and how misconduct by prosecutors and the judges work in detail. They suppressed evidence and the jury clearly didn't understand insider trading. How they berated him in front of the media to get their own hype and put pressure on him is insane in our government that promised innocent until proven guilty. Very terrible things he went through. I highly recommend if you want to learn about law and stock trading.
