Unlike Mr. Ayres, Anurag (like his partners Ruth and Vikrant) has always maintained a low profile in the industry... and that should be applauded by industry insiders. However, the fact is that he's been on the radar of US authorities for years. What good is all that money when you're forced to look over your shoulder at every turn? When was the last time Anurag left India? Or Ruth left Spain? Want to know what he was thinking? Peace of mind! The guy was smoking 2 packs of butts a day worrying... hardly sleeping and rarely leaving his house. In the end, $300MM is a small price to pay when you have an equal amount in your bank account. As far as Brunson and others not liking it... well that's understandable - thsy got beat to the punch. Any deals cut with authorities in the future will likely be more severe... but those deals are coming - just wait and watch.
