Telgi retires...

Abdul Kareem Telgi, the mastermind behind the “Stamp Paper Scam” was yesterday jailed for 13 years and supposedly fined Rs.251 crores ( ~65Million USD).


Can someone tell me how the court expects him to pay that fine? As far as I know, he has neither inherited that kind of money nor earned it honestly. He was a middle class person who made his crores by swindling the government. If all his ill-gotten wealth has been recovered, how the f**k will he pay that fine? On the other hand, if the police have not been able to trace all the money(which is more likely) and the court now expect him to pay Rs.251 crores from the thousands of crores he supposedly made, what prevents him from enjoying what’s left of his booty when he returns from jail 13 years later? Wouldn’t every crook in the country plan an exit strategy like this?


Which is a bigger scam? You decide!
