Mothers of all Scams; two scams of UPA chamchas (Amar-Spectrum nuke-telecom deals)

dec 19th, 2008

this seems to be prime time for scams.

these are the sins of the UPA, and then there's madoff, and the real mother of all scams, the entire sub-prime crisis. i personally still cannot believe madoff got away with this ponzi scheme for decades.

the kkkangress has been into scams for a long time. remember bofors? remember natwar singh and the iraq oil scam? not surprising to see amar singh and saudi arabia being among the biggest donors to clinton. they are in bed after all.

and where did the UPA get all this money from? scams like the NREGS, this spectrum scam etc. surely the guys who made billions on spectrum ownership would have paid a large portion of it to the kkkangress and i guess the DMK.

Clinton donors list reveals Indian tycoons, lobbyists paid to be 'Friends of Bill'

Pioneer News Service | New Delhi Saturday, December 20, 2008

From the Government of Saudi Arabia to Bill Gates to dodgy Russian mining tycoons, the William J Clinton Foundation has released 200,000 names of individuals and entities who have collectively donated half a billion dollars to it in the past decade.

The names, hitherto confidential, have been revealed as part of Bill Clinton's commitment with President-elect Barack Obama to ensure full transparency and outline potential conflicts of interest before his wife, Hillary Clinton, takes over as Secretary of State.

There is a stronger-than-expected Indian presence in the donor list. In the $1 million to $5 million category --- specific amounts are not mentioned in the list --- three Indian names appear: steel tycoon Laksmi Mittal, wind power company Suzlon Energy and Samajwadi Party politician Amar Singh.

The scam of the decade

Prabir Purkayastha (Pioneer, Saturday, December 20, 2008)

Just as we were wondering if the UPA's term would end without any king-sized lootings, here comes The Pioneer's expose on Spectrum – the mother of all scams

The award of the 2G GSM licenses to new mobile and CDMA operators has created a huge controversy. The extent of the money lost by the country is estimated to be of the order of Rs 100,000 crore, with companies who have got their new licenses selling them within a few months for 6-7 times of what they paid. This appears to be a plain and simple loot of the exchequer -- price the licenses and spectrum cheap and allow the companies to resell at market value without any restrictions.
