$900K benefit was only due to one tip. There is another tip where the benefit was 3 million and another where it was much more. Information is still coming out. SEC released news this morning.

It raises serious questions on his integrity from his previous jobs. To think that he was a MD at McKinsey and had so much inormation at his disposal or was he caught the first time he did this?

Strategically speaking I really question if Mr Gupta understood 2 cents about strategy consulting? (assuming he did do this fraud). What's the strategy in risking millions of net worth, respect, reputation etc for a few extra bucks? Go figure
