**** Is it because they are "----like that only" or is there something fundamentally missing
from their education?

>>
>> *16. **Securities Scam (1992) :-** Harshad Mehta manipulated banks to
>> siphon off money and invested the funds in the stock market, leading to a
>> crash. The loss: Rs 5,000 crore.*

>> will remember the advertisements- tens of them intriguingly headlined: `Who
>> is Pawan Sachdeva?` For the record, it was the peak of the public issued-led
>> advertising boom and the ads were created by the Delhi branch of
>> Rediffusion. Sachdeva, the promoter of MS Shoes, allegedly used company
>> funds to buy shares (of his own company) and rig prices, prior to a public
>> issue. He is alleged to have colluded with officials in the Securities
>> Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and SBI Caps, which lead-managed the issue,
>> to dupe the public into investing in his Rs. 699-crore public-***-rights
>> issue. Sachdeva was later acquitted*
>>
>> *20. **JMM Bribes (1995) :-** Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Shailendra
>> Mahato testified that he and three party members received bribes of Rs 30
>> lakh to bail out the P.V. Narasimha Rao government in the 1993 no-confidence

>> *21. **In a Pickle (1996) :-** Pickle baron Lakhubhai Pathak raised a stink
>> when he accused former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao and godman
>> Chandraswami of accepting a bribe of Rs 10 lakh from him for securing a

>> and a group of businessmen close to the P.V. Narasimha Rao regime fleeced
>> the government and took Rs 133 crore from the import of two lakh tonne of
>> urea, which was never delivered.*
>>
>> *25. **Hawala Diaries (1996) :-** The scandal surfaced following CBI raids
>> on hawala operators in Delhi in 1991. But it was S.K. Jain`s diaries that
>> had heads rolling.*
>>
>> *26. **CRB SCAM (1997) :-** Another scam forged by greed and discovered
>> through accident. Chain Roop Bhansali, a smart-talking entrepreneur, created
>> a pyramid financial empire based on high-cost financing. At its peak, his
>> Rs. 1,000-crore financial conglomerate had in its ranks a mutual fund, a
>> financial services company into fixed deposits, and a merchant bank. That
>> Bhansali knew how to work the system became evident when he also managed to
>> secure a provisional banking license. Then his luck ran out. An executive in
>> the State Bank of India Inadvertently discovered that some interest warrants
>> issued by Bhansali were not backed by cash. The bubble finally burst in May
>> 1997, but by that time investors had lost over Rs. 1,000 crore. This was
>> among the first retail scams in India and it was played out, in smaller
>> avatars, across the country-especially in the South where financial services
>> companies promised returns in excess of 20 per cent and decamped with the
>> principal. Bhansali was arrested for a few weeks and released later on bail.
>> *
>>
>> *27. **MEHTA`S SECOND COMING (1998) :- **The Big Bull returned to the
>> bourses. This time, he allegedly colluded with the promoters of BPL,
>> Videocon International, and Sterile Industries to rig the share prices of
>> these companies. The inevitable collapse happened sooner than planned,
>> Harshad Mehta orchestrated a cover-up operation that included a high=jinks
>> effort by officials of Bombay Stock Exchange to (illegally ) open the
>> trading system in the middle of the night to set things right, but the
>> damage had been done. SEBI finally passed its ruling on the scam in 2001,
>> banning the three companies concerned from tapping the market-BPL, for two
>> years. Mehta was debarred for life form dealing in Securities Appellate
>> Tribunal (SAT) in October 2001*
>>
>> *28. **VANISHING COMPANIES SCAM (1998) :-** A passing remark heard by then
>> Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram resulted in a furore over what was
>> badly-kept secret on Dalal street. Chidambaram was told that hundreds of
>> companies had disappeared after raising moneys form the public. An informal
>> scrutiny revealed that perhaps over 600 companies were missing. Chidambaram
>> ordered a probe by SEBI. The SEBI probe conducted in May 1998 revealed that
>> while many companies are not traded on the bourses at least 80 companies
>> that had rises Rs.330.78 crore were simply missing. Later that year, the
>> Department of Company Affairs (DCA) was asked to probe and penalize these
>> companies. DCA still investigating. Investigations continue to this day.*
>>
>> *29. **PLANTATION COMPANIES SCAM (1999) :-** It was as innovative a swindle
>> as any effected in the world. Savvy entrepreneurs convinced gullible
>> investors that given the right irrigation and fertilizer inputs, teak,
>> strawberries, and anything else that could be grown, would grow anywhere in
>> the country. The promoters could afford to collect money from investors and
>> not worry about retribution (or returns, for that matter). For, plantation
>> companies fell under the purview of neither SEBI nor Reserve Bank of India.
>> Indeed, they didn`t even come under the scope of the Department decided to
>> change things in 1999, enough investors had been gulled: 653 companies,
>> between them, had raised Rs. 2,563 crore from investors. To date, not many
>> investors have got their principals back, just another affirmation of the
>> old saying about money not growing on trees.*
>>
>> *30. **Match Fixing (2000) :-** Mohammed Azharuddin, till then India`s
>> cricket captain, was accused of match-fixing. He and Ajay Sharma were banned
>> from playing, while Ajay Jadeja and Manoj Prabhakar were suspended for five
>> years.*
>>
>> *31. **KETAN PAREKH SCAM (2001) :-** Ketan Parekh`s modus operandi wasn`t
>> very different from Harshad Mehta`s. If Mehta used banker`s receipts, then
>> Parekh used pay orders to ramp up the prices of his favourite scrips (the
>> K-10). Apart from money form the banking system Parekh also rerouted money
>> from corporated like HFCL (Rs. 425 crore), and Zee (Rs. 340 crore) to good
>> effect. He was caught when pay-orders issued by Madhavpura Mercantile
>> Cooperative Bank bounced. Although the total amount involved in the scam was
>> just Rs. 137 crore, the impact was far greater. Apparently, when a bear
>> cartel sensed Parekh was in trouble, it stepped in and leveraged a dip in
>> the NASDAQ to bear down stock prices. The resultant slump in the markets
>> happened soon after Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha presented what he
>> considered his best budget ever. Under pressure from the government, SEBI
>> investigated the scam and heads began to roll. Among them: the entire
>> management team of BSE, including its president Anand Rathi, CSFB, First
>> Global, and, in an indirect connection, P.S.Subramanyam, the Chairman of UTL
>> Evidently, for the 18 months that PSS was Chairman of UTI, the Trust had
>> mirrored the actions of the bull cartel. The result? When the market tanked,
>> so did the NAV of its holy cow, the US-64.*
>>
>> *32. **Tehelka Sting (2001) :-** Tehelka, an online news portal, used
>> spycams to catch army officers and politicians accepting bribes, in their
>> sting operation called Operation Westend. Investigative journalism turned
>> another corner in the country.*
>>
>> *33. **Stockmarket Scam (2001) :-** The mayhem that wiped off over Rs
>> 1,15,000 crore in the markets in March 2001 was masterminded by the
>> Pentafour bull Ketan Parekh. He was arrested in December 2002 and banned
>> from acccessing the capital market for 14 years.*
>>
>> *34. **Home Trade Scam (2002) :-** Under the pretext of gilt trading, Rs
>> 600 crore was swindled from over 25 cooperative banks in Maharashtra and
>> Gujarat by a Navi Mumbai-based brokerage firm Home Trade. Sanjay Agarwal,
>> CEO of the firm, was arrested in May 2002.*
>>
>> *35. **Stamp Paper Scam (2003) :- **The sheer magnitude of the racket was
>> shocking-it caused a loss of Rs 30,000 crore to the exchequer. Disclosures
>> of the mastermind behind it, Abdul Karim Telgi, implicated top police
>> officers and bureaucrats.*
>>
>> *36. **Oil-for-Food Scandal (2005) :- **K. Natwar Singh was unceremoniously
>> dropped from the Cabinet when his name surfaced in the Volcker Report on the
>> Iraq oil-for-food scam. *
>>

>>

>>
>> ? *Give: **Rs 56,000 to every Indian. *
