SEBI is prosecuting Adani now [0] (edit: correct link [1] - they are going after Adani Group's holding funds in Marutius). The previous chairperson of SEBI was unceremoniously canned this March for this incident and the Adani incident, and the current chairperson (Tuhin Kanta Pandey) cleaned up Indian SoEs during their privatization during Modi 2.

Edit: cannot reply below

Indian regulators won't settle with Adani Group. They have become a political liability due to how slapshot they played AND because the Bihar Elections are coming up, so skinning some goats (balli ka bakra) is a quick win - the RJD, INC, and TMC attacks on Modi+Adani are landing in Bihar and much of the rest of India.

Every Indian government does this - such as Kingfisher Group, Sahara Group, Gitanjali Group, etc.

Treat it the same way as Truong My Lan's case in Vietnam and Wanda Group's case in China.

That's not what the article says.

> Adani, the nephew of Gautam Adani, was sent a notice by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) last year which alleged he shared information about Adani Green's (ADNA.NS), 2021 acquisition of SoftBank-backed SB Energy Holdings with his brother-in-law before the deal was announced, according to a source and the document.

Some Adani relative is getting a slap on the wrist for a $100k insider trading violation. This has nothing to do with the main issues raised by Hindenburg.

Nobody in the current lower structure is going to do anything about what Hindenburg raised - they’re too complicit.

Other way around. Lower rungs at AGMUT roles are the most vocal about abuses of power becuase they want to become a joint secretaries in 20 years. It's once your role approaches cabinet appointment level that stuff gets dicey. Of course, Pandeyji is fairly clean and has a reputation as an enforcer in Odisha and later during the cleanup in the run-up of privatization. It's going to be mid-level leadership that will push back.

Like I said before, treat this the same way you would similar news in Vietnam, China, Russia, or Romania.
