@argosciv - this post is has info that may be relevant in the series you're working on. BTW, in relation to people having the same name, the Gupta name (Rajat Gupta has heavy connections to Clinton corruption), came up related to Ekal Vidyalaya Georgia, (namely Rina and Rachna Gupta, but I have not been able to connect any relation to Rajat and the couple appear to be sincere in promoting charity work at the lower levels, even if Ekal is promoted by CF donors at the top of the evil NGO food chain) whereas CF is an international money laundering, pay to play global syndicate operation. @Vindicator
This Week in Clinton Corruption for October 6, 2016
That amazing thing about the Clinton web of corruption is that there are tentacles of the Clinton Foundation you’ve likely never even heard of, including the Clinton India Foundation:
Three months after leaving the White House in 2001, former President Bill Clinton arrived in India to cheering throngs to help those who had just lost a million homes in the aftermath of a massive earthquake that killed 20,000 and injured 166,000.
In classic Clinton style, he solemnly promised that his new nonprofit — called the American India Foundation (AIF) — would rebuild 100 villages. Rajat Gupta, his millionaire co-chairman, pledged $1 billion for the victims.
It never happened. Years later, AIF’s annual reports were reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation and show only seven villages were partially rebuilt by Clinton’s group, and a mere $2.7 million of $53 million raised over a decade went to the earthquake victims.
The rest went for completely unrelated projects, including “accelerating social change,” fighting AIDS, “sustainable development,” and working for “digital equalizers.”
Paltry aid for the victims notwithstanding, Clinton handsomely profited from the charity as AIF’s top officers poured more than $13 million into the Clinton Foundation and others generously gave to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s political campaigns.
The sheer number of AIF executives who ran afoul of the law is dramatic. Clinton’s handpicked AIF co-chairmen — Rajat Gupta, then head of McKinsey & Company and Victor Menezes, then Citibank chairman — were both convicted of insider trading. Gupta served 19 months in federal prison and Menezes was fined $2.7 million.
Gupta was close to the Clintons. He hired Chelsea Clinton right out of college for a six-figure salary to work at McKinsey and he donated between $10,000 to $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
Raj Rajaratnam was perhaps the most notorious AIF trustee. He was convicted of 14 counts of security fraud in one of the largest and most spectacular Wall Street prosecutions in decades. He is currently serving serving a sentence of 11 years in prison. Gupta passed on insider tips to Rajaratnam.
Then there’s Vinod Gupta, an AIF director who the Securities and Exchange Commission helped remove as CEO of InfoUSA because he used company funds to support a lavish lifestyle. He was forced to resign and pay $9 million in restitution.
Vinod also bestowed large financial rewards to Clinton. He paid Bill $3.3 million and gave him 100,000 stock shares of his company without prior approval from the board of directors. Vinod allowed the Clinton family to use the company’s jet, also without board approval. The Clintons got $900,000 worth of air travel. And Vinod gave between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Vinod had spent a night in the White House Lincoln bedroom when the Clintons opened it up to donors.
SANT SINGH CHATWAL
Sant Singh Chatwal, another AIF trustee, pleaded guilty in 2014 to funneling more than $180,000 in illegal contributions to candidates for federal office, including Hillary. The Times of India reported the close relationship Chatwal had with the Clintons.
“Chatwal and his wife Daman were regular visitors to the White House during the Clinton presidency. A fortnight after the Clintons left for their new home in Chappaqua, New York, Sant Singh Chatwal and his elder son, Vikram, dropped in to meet them,” the newspaper wrote.
Naveen Jain, an AIF trustee, was accused of buying and selling stocks with insider knowledge as CEO of InfoSpace. He eventually paid $107 million in a civil suit over insider trading.
[Ajay Shah](, another trustee was forced to pay $14.8 million for contributing to the collapse of the Trust Bank of Kenya. He fled the country to avoid the Kenya High Court decree.
Sudesh K. Arora, president of Natel entered the criminal plea for a major Department of Defense fraud investigation. He settled and his company paid a $1 million fine.

Good Lord. This is bad. Did we know about all this, or has it only come to light as a result of the Patel pool incident?

There's been a fair bit of reporting on it all over the place, but it's new to me and only came onto my radar as an aside from the drowning incident (which I still contend may be a case of mistaken identity). Kinda funny how that can happen.
Strangely, there has been little reporting/mention of Vikram Chatwal being in Epstein's book. I'd think that would be pretty conversation-worthy but I guess msm outlets have stopped caring about the Chatwals for one reason or another after their repeated disgraces.

Thanks for chipping in. I'm doing a bit of extra digging into the Chatwals now.
Here's an extra source supporting the blog post:
dailymail.co.uk - "REVEALED: Long line of felons worked with nonprofit co-founded by Bill Clinton": https://archive.is/rG6wh
^ Note that the above article (from November 17, 2015) says that Chatwal is still an AIF trustee but archives of their trustee list stop showing his name as of at least Jan 21, 2015; his name was last seen there on Oct 30, 2014.
