Folks, we have never shied away from highlighting the ugly face of one of the worst corporate animals in America – the Yama (Hindu God of Death) who has butchered over 70,000 jobs, the Greedy Suvar (pig) who hogs at the trough, the Shani (source of trouble) who has brought misery to countless Americans by his actions.
Yes, we’re speaking of our Desi Butcher Vikram Pandit, CEO of Shitty Group oops Citigroup. the crappy financial institution bailed out by U.S. tax-payers.
The Greedy Suvar dubbed ‘quarter billion man‘ by the New York Times never misses an opportunity to inflict misery on less privileged Americans through all kinds of dirty tactics at his financial conglomerate.
Blood Sucking Vampire
Every day brings further evidence of how the bailed out shitty corporation Citigroup under Vikram Pandit’s stewardship devises new ways to make life as difficult as possible for average Americans struggling to survive in these hard economic times.
* Yesterday, there were reports of how Citi was abruptly closing credit card accounts linked to its gas station partners like Shell, Citgo, ExxonMobil and Phillips 66-Conoco.
* Today comes the sad news that Citi is jacking up credit card interest rates for many unsuspecting customers to 29.99%.
* What misery will the Desi Butcher Vikram Pandit inflict on hapless Americans tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the day after….
Yes, this is the same Shaitan whose payout was $216 million, according to the New York Times.

Any chance of doing an Oceans Eleven kinda operation on wherever he has stashed his money away. Or how about kidnapping him? I mean even 1% of that payout is more than enough.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
No. Not interested.
Like Blood Diamonds, this is blood money acquired through others sufferings. 🙁
This guy deserves to be put in an electric chair with a near-lethal dose of current passed into his body.
He should be killed so horribly that the people who watch it pass on the message that this is how “Bastards who suck the blood of the poor and the innocent die”.
Really, this guy is an insult to the whole of India and America. I wonder how Citigroup retains him as CEO even inspite of his rising unpopularity!

Desi butcher Vikram Pandit is not an insult merely to India and America but an insult to the whole of humanity.
Well, people have an option, don’t they?
Quit doing business with them. That is what I have done since the day I got my credit card statement in the mail after the due date (and they had the nerve to charge me a late fee for my payment!!!).

1. You write: people have an option, don’t they
Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t. They may have grown children with college expenses or used the card to pay hospital bills et al.
As Rachel from a link in the above post acknowledges, our choices at this time are very limited.
2. You write: Quit doing business with them.
We agree. If people have a choice, they should cut up the Citi cards.
@ Aswin_Kini: “Really, this guy is an insult to the whole of India and America. I wonder how Citigroup retains him as CEO even inspite of his rising unpopularity!”
Banks honestly don’t care what individual customers think about their CEO’s and their service, notwithstanding all that Customer is King BS they dish out. As long as the corporate fat cats keep stashing their loot, into the banks account, it matters least what Vikram Pandit does.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
True.
Plus of course appeasing the Wall Street Gods (i.e. meeting Street expectations on earnings).
From Wiki
“In 2005, Pandit was fired from Morgan Stanley and started a hedge fund with other Morgan Stanley refugees”
Bastard sure has a record to die for.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
If our memory serves us right, the hedge fund you mention above was Old Lane, which Citigroup acquired for $800 million.
However, Old Lane was a mediocre piece of shit that Citigroup eventually shuttered in 2008 (less than a year after Citigroup purchased it).
“Swati is a housewife. My son told her not to work because if you work, from whatever you earn, 50 percent will go in taxes and rest 50 percent will go in housemaids; very practical.”
From an interview with Vikram Pandit’s Dad about his great son.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
So did the Swati housewife become the Swati housemaid swatting dust off the Pandit furniture? 😉
BTW our Pandit Pal, has promised to take only $1 salary, till position of Citgroup improves, another gimmick?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Vikram Pandit’s $1 salary is pure gimmickry aimed at saving his job.
Heck, if we’ve already grabbed a $216 million sweetheart deal, we’ll also take $1.
FDIC chairperson Sheila Bair can’t stand our greedy Desi Suvar and is gunning for Pandit’s ass. Hope she succeeds.
Hmm any idea why he was kicked out from Morgan Stanley, could not get much info from the Wiki piece on him, or did he come up with some more weird ideas there.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
You write: Hmm any idea why he was kicked out from Morgan Stanley
Vikram is said to have lost out in a power struggle with then Morgan Stanley CEO Phil Purcell.
And to think our greedy Desi Suvar Vikram Pandit was awarded Padma Bhushan in 2008. What a shame.
Aren’t there gora butchers who are greedier than this guy.. why bash Vikram alone.. repeatedly..
I don’t think desis care much about the 29.99% increase (or the gas card closures).. and they have given a 1 year grace period too, if I understood correctly for the rate increase.. what’s the need to borrow more than you can afford.
When is the windows 7 review coming! I was initially happy with Vista, but it is becoming frustrating.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. You write: why bash Vikram alone.. repeatedly..
Because he epitomizes obscene greed, the ugly face of humanity.
People have this quaint notion that money is an infinite commodity.
It’s not. When one person gobbles up so much (like Vikram Pandit does), there’s very little left for the others.
Worse, it inspires others to imitate such obscene behavior. That’s what led to the economic collapse in the U.S.
Sure there are others greedier than Vikram.
So why pick Vikram? Because he’s one of our own, a good place to start. 😉
2. You write: what’s the need to borrow more than you can afford.
Agree 100% with this.
3. Offtopic:
Will do a short post later today on what will likely be the most talked about movie of this decade.
Let’s see if you any of you can guess which one.
No, it’s not Aadhavan, Blue or even Vettaikaran. 😉
SI – “And to think our greedy Desi Suvar Vikram Pandit was awarded Padma Bhushan in 2008”
Oh the Padma, Bharat Ratna awards have become a joke,they are more like freebie doles you get for sucking up to establishment.
Consider this Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai have been Padma Sree awardees too.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. Everything is devalued in India.
One of these days, they’ll award the Bharat Ratna to Narendar Modi, the Butcher of Gujarat.
2. Offtopic: Will do a short post later today on what will likely be the most talked about movie of this decade.
Let’s see if you can guess which one.
No, it’s not My Name is Khan.
“Will do a short post later today on what will likely be the most talked about movie of this decade”.
Hmm Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story (u already have i think)
or Lars Von Trier’s Anti Christ.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
No to both.
Although we just read about Anti Christ last night. Now, there’s a clue.
“Although, we just read about Anti Christ last night. Now, there’s a clue.”
Hmm Ok, horror, blood sucking Vampire title, is it “Let the Right One In”, one of the most talked about horror flicks.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
We’re speaking about what’ll be the the most talked about movie of this decade and here you’re mouthing kiddie stuff like Let the Right One In.
Obviously, there’s a big difference in level between us. 😉
is it an Indian movie? yet to be released?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. You write: is it an Indian movie?
Can you get any sillier?
Kannu, we’re talking about what’ll most likely be the most talked about movie of this decade.
Most talked about movie of this decade will most definitely not be Indian unless Nayantara, Abhishek or Ajith commit harakiri on the sets. 😉
OK, here’s another clue: There’s an Indian connection, but very distant and remote.
2. BTW, Indians don’t make movies.
They take a camera and some film stock and in the Indian ishtyle of alchemy turn the end-product into trash.
while you are on that mission, let me drool over Reese Witherspoon in http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Man_in_the_Moon/60003601?trkid=912834
oops she is only 14 in this movie.. will I get in trouble?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
You write: will I get in trouble?
No, unless you go beyond drooling. In which case, Megan’s Law will kick in.
when you put it that way, my thoughts sound ugly 😕
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Don’t worry, Asin (With the release of London Dreams drawing near, the Mallu midget has been going around giving interviews to anyone who’ll listen that Asin means pure, without sin, blah blah blah).
@SI,
when nobel prize can be sold, so can padma bushan. au contraire, it would have been a very easy thing for vikram to buy it from our wonderful politicians.

If we had a puppy, we’d have purchased a Padma Shri for it. 😉

Only after all the ‘C‘ cup ladies Navya Nair, Meera Jasmine and Tabu have had their ‘C‘hance. 😉
Tabu can become TN CM. Hoorah!!!!
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Heck, Tabu can go straight for the PM’s gaddi. 😉
She was a A-cup in this movie, but two babies later now she is a C-cup (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/walk_the_line/ is good one to evaluate her current cup size and oscar winning talent) too. Meera is probably B – love her other features too, while I don’t care much about Navya “teakada” Nair.
Tabu… Did you say that you have watched “Kandukondain Kandukondain”.. she was better than Mammooty (and of course Aishwarya Rai and Ajith) in that movie. Awesome songs.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. Tabu?
We’ve seen her in Meera Nair’s Namesake, Cheeni Kum, Fanaa (small role) et al.
2. You write: I don’t care much about Navya “teakada” Nair
We too don’t. Now that there are reports of her impending marriage to a Mumbai-based Malayale, can’t we give Mumbai back to the Portuguese? 😉
S.I : who has butchered over 70,000 jobs
The amount of articles you have written on this guy makes me think it was the voice of 1/70,000 🙂

No, awards in a lot of countries have gotten politicized.
