David Olive: The People vs. the Greedheads (in the Toronto Star)

David Olive writes on the case that isn't coming to trial...

"You’re excused if the names Rajaratnam and Galleon don’t readily spring to mind. Or if you didn’t know that Rajaratnam is the richest Sri Lankan in history.

"Interesting facts, to be sure. But they’re as relevant to global capitalism’s latest implosion, triggering the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression, as the proper body mass index of an adult dolphin.

"The trial judge in this case said as much Tuesday, instructing prospective jurors that the case against Rajaratnam 'does not have anything to do with the recession or who is to blame for the financial problems we face.'

"Which begs the question of why justice hasn’t been rendered in a case yet to be brought, People vs. the Greedheads Who Triggered the Great Recession."
