How it Occurred Pt. 2
Lawyers challenge conviction by mentioning a $10 million
fallout Gupta had with Rajaratnam.
Lawyers also claim Rajaratnam never traded based on the
exchanged information.
Prosecutors said Rajaratnam tipped Gupta off.

How it Occurred Pt. 3 Rajat wanted new trail in 2014, but court
rejected it. Wiretaps are mentioned again, and lawyers
say what Rajaratnam says is “the self-serving hearsay of a known fabulist.”
Prosecutors claim it is non hearsay. Rajat was sentenced to 2 years, freedom
pending appeal. Appeal is rejected.
