Could this be the same Indian businessman Ashok Mahibubani-Ladharam? I found a court of appeals document from the 11th circuit with the US vs Ashok Mahibubani-Ladharam which entails 22 counts of money laundering and conspiring to import and importing cocaine. However, he was sentenced to 120 months the way I'm reading this. The court document is from 2005 so he'd be currently in prison if this is the same person unless of course it is the same guy and he was able to have his sentence commuted by having the right connections to the CF....just sayin' and FBI Anon said to focus on the CF because the C's deal in weapons, drugs and people. http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca11/10-11782/201011782-2011-03-27.html

Not the same person. The cocaine convict "Ashok Mahibubani-Ladharam" named in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals document is not the Ashok Mahbubani in the Podesta emails. Dig deeper into the docket here: https://www.unitedstatescourts.org/federal/flsd/337729/. In the transcript of the plea colloquy, dated 10/5/09, Ashok Mahibubani-Ladharam tells the judge he is 36 years old and a Filipino citizen. See https://www.unitedstatescourts.org/federal/flsd/337729/84-0.html. The case is from South Florida. The Ashok Mahbubani in the Podesta emails looks like he's in his 60s (putting him in his 50s in 2009) and is located in Alabama.
