Kingfisher issue: Professional manslaughter or premeditated murder?
Last Monday was a late morning. I was knocked over by the barrage of texts and whatsapp messages on my phone as I stumbled out of bed at 7.30 am.
No, it was not my birthday. Not a big festival, either.
I ignored the almost Pavlovian instinct to open the messages and crawled out, motivated solely by the thought of my first cup of brew.
I got to the newspaper a little later and discovered the reason for my literally overnight popularity.
The business papers hinted that the Serious Fraud Investigation Office was going after a global consultancy for its brand valuation that had helped securitise the Kingfisher Airline debts.
They were as culpable, the stories said, as the wilful defaulter on the run.
Good heavens.
