Boris Johnson arrived in India. Rabble-rousers know that the world's media attention will follow; and they use this opportunity to garner some of the spotlight. It's just a shameless ploy to get their names out. Such is democracy,

Alibaba was delaying going public because they wanted to get back the 40% they had sold to Yahoo. Their expected market cap was $200B, so the 40% that Yahoo owned would eventually be worth $80B. Hence MSFT offered $44B, which was a lowball

Comments like this make me really mad. Do you know that Europe is _still_ buying from Russia?? Do you know that the US is also _still_ buying from Russia?? India does about $8Bn/year of trade with Russia. That's peanuts. And nearl

The only way to stop this is to give the whistleblower a large cut of the fine: say, 50%. That will drive up the incentive to whistleblow; otherwise, all you get is a pink slip and a spot in the soup kitchen line.
