Bangalore: Many of the Indian Americans have made our country proud by conquering heights across diverse fields in the U.S. and globally. But, on the contrary there are few others who have let down the nation by getting involved in illegal practices and cling onto anti-social activities for some extra bucks.

Let take a look at some of the most controversial Indian Americans in the U.S.

Rajat Gupta

Rajat Gupta is an Indian American businessman, who conquered corporate heights in U.S, but spoiled years of hard work for some additional bucks. He is charged for insider-trading case at Dell which was a big story recently. He is the former director of Goldman Sachs Group an investment banking and securities firm.

Gupta was arrested by FBI towards the end of 2011 for disclosing the earnings of his company to Rajratnam, the founder of Galleon group. Gupta passed on the information when his company faced serious financial crisis and the Galleon Group is said to have benefited a lot from the information provided. During Rajaratnam’s trial, his conversations with Gupta, were played on tape which gained wide spread attention and disrepute.

He has been charged of security frauds and conspiracy and the trial date of his case has been extended to May 21. April 9 was the date set for the trial, but as per the demand from Gupta’s defense team, a delay of six weeks was granted by the judge, at a court hearing in Manhattan, by Jed S. Rakoff, District Court Judge.

62 year old Gupta, a graduate from Harvard is the former CEO of McKinsey, a global consulting firm and has also worked for Procter and Gamble and American Airlines.

Gupta was a role model to several Indian Americans who aimed to make a career in the corporate world of America and the case against him came as a huge shock to them.
