Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and former UN chief Kofi Annan have written to a US Judge in support of India-born Rajat Gupta, who will be sentenced on October 24 for insider trading, highlighting his philanthropic work.
Gupta, the most high-profile Wall Street executive convicted of insider trading, will be sentenced by US District Judge Jed Rakoff.
"I know most personally that the poor of the world have a profoundly capable and articulate advocate in Rajat Gupta," Gates said in his letter.
