Bigger than fraud of Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Ketan Parekh combined..., this US company earned Rs 250000000000 by fraud in just.... The SEBI has made a shocking disclosure about the US trading firm Jane Street a few days ago and seized Rs 4,800 crore from it. But now SEBI tipster is claiming that the money that Jane Street has earned by doing manipulation is very high. If the world is still recovering from the scam that was done by Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Ketan Parikh, SEBI has unearthed a scam which bigger than this three combined. This US trading company has earned Rs 25000 crore by manipulating in 2024 alone by manipulating expiry-day trades. How much did Jane Street earn from scam? Bansal revealed that Rs 4,800 crore is just a small amount, which is based on SEBI's investigation of only 21 business days of a two-year period starting from July 2023. He estimates that the total profit of Jane Street during this period is Rs 36,500 crore and in fact all of it has been earned illegally. He said that Jane Street's 2024 profit of Rs 3 billion is much more than its nearest competitor's earnings of Rs 320-360 million, a difference of nine times which cannot be ignored. He further said that Jane Street is not doing what it usually does. It has made money by manipulating stocks and indices. How did the company manipulate? The company said the scam was done in two step manipulation. First- The company took huge positions in cash and futures to control the index. Due to which it used to control the entire index on expiry days. Once the index went up, Jane Street took short option positions- long put and short call and then sold its cash holdings. It incurred a small loss by taking the call, but it made huge profits with long term put. This manipulation was seen in many indexes – Bank Nifty, Nifty, Sensex and Midcap on every expiry day. What action did SEBI take? On July 3, SEBI issued an interim order barring Jane Street from doing business in India, citing its involvement in 'intra-day index manipulation'. The regulator seized alleged illegal income of about ₹4,844 crore and ordered the money to be deposited in an escrow account. The 105-page SEBI order accused Jane Street of driving up Bank Nifty through aggressive cash and futures purchases, then shorting the index through options and misleading retail investors.

‘I did it my way': Vijay Mallya, Lalit Modi's karaoke at London party fails to impress internet

They sang Frank Sinatra's iconic music number "My Way'. Lalit Modi hosted a lavish summer party in London. Vijay Mallya was among the guets. (X/@LalitKModi) 'I did it #myway - a few memories from my annual summer party past Sunday at my house in London,' Lalit Modi wrote. He continued that he invited 310 people for the 'amazing night', and the guest list consisted of his 'friends and family'. In addition to Vijay Mallya, Chris Gayle was also spotted at the event. Modi also wrote a few words for Mallya. After thanking his guests, he shared, 'And to Vijay Mallya for his everlasting spirit of being there for me. Hope this video does not break the internet. Controversial for sure. But that what I do best.' Take a look at the video: What did social media say? While many reacted with hilarity, a few slammed and labelled them 'fugitives.'

What an inning that was. And he was not out. The greatest entertainer in cricket of all times. I salute him (sic).'

‘Thugs of Hindustan': Lalit Modi, Vijay Mallya sing Sinatra's ‘I did it my way' at lavish London bash; video goes viral
At a glittering London soirée hosted by Lalit Modi, a moment straight out of a movie unfolded: the former IPL commissioner and controversial tycoon Vijay Mallya belted out Frank Sinatra's iconic I Did It My Way to a cheering crowd. The clip, posted by Modi on Instagram, quickly caught fire online – drawing both laughs and raised eyebrows, given the legal baggage both men carry. The bash was anything but low-key. With over 310 guests flown in from across the globe, it was a full-blown spectacle of glitz and nostalgia. Among the familiar faces was former RCB star Chris Gayle, who posted a story with the duo, writing, 'We living it up. Thanks for a lovely evening,' and tagging both hosts. 'Had an amazing night with 310 friends and family… Thank you to one and all who attended this evening and made it one of the most special nights for me,' Modi wrote in the caption, cheekily adding, 'Hope this video doesn't break the Internet. Controversial for sure. But that's what I do best.' A post shared by Lalit Modi (@lalitkmodi) The Internet certainly paid attention. While some viewers said, calling them 'Desi Boys. English Style,' others went a step further with comments like 'Thugs of Hindustan.' One person said, 'Wow that seems like a whole lot of fun.' Lalit Modi, once hailed as the mastermind behind the IPL's global success, has remained in the UK since 2010 after facing suspension from the BCCI. The charges against him include alleged financial irregularities, bid manipulation, and money laundering, involving massive sums under scrutiny by Indian authorities. Vijay Mallya, once dubbed the 'King of Good Times,' left India in 2016 amidst mounting allegations of financial fraud tied to his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines. Declared a 'fugitive economic offender' by Indian courts, Mallya's legal troubles in the UK continue. Just last week, his appeal against a bankruptcy ruling was thrown out by the British High Court. He's previously claimed that Indian authorities have already recovered assets worth over Rs 14,000 crore, more than what he allegedly owes.
