Talk:Saradha Group financial scandal

Brainstorming for content
Kindly brainstorm any news about the scandal, so that it can be appropriately used in the article:
 * Late night meetings with officials
 * Use of ambulances, Kolkata police bikes for attending meetings, transferring cash
 * Use of fruit baskets in North Bengal to transfer cash
 * Use of rigged software
 * Use of servers situated in Boston, which were hired for a monthly fee of 44,000 USD.
 * Taking agents to luxurious locations and resorts for meeting.
 * Strategical use of photos of politicians to build faith in rural areas
 * More details about protests, including protests in similar companies
 * Similar protests/reactions in other states like Odisha, Jharkhand. Amartyabag   TALK2ME  13:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Good starting point, but because of the 'political minefield' each point has to be referenced with neutral sources. It would be better to have a few images as well and may be a logo of saradha group and an infobox.LegalEagle (talk) 13:54, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Surajit kar purakayastha now kolkata CP attended a function of saradha. He attended it before he was CP. CPIM members Kanti Biswas who was education minister and the ex-Bishnupur CPIM MLA Ananda Biswas (not sure of title) attended a function of them too. This is neutral in sense that the accused are not part of TMC. Solomon7968 (talk) 17:12, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Merge
It seems that a stub on same scam was created Saradha chit fund scam, an editor has requested for merge. I think it is quite apt to merge that article into Saradha Group financial scandal. In case there is no opposition, I would merge it in a couple of days.LegalEagle (talk) 10:01, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

does this make me a deletionist?

 * The Saradha Group financial scandal (সারদা কেলেঙ্কারী) was a major financial scam and alleged political scandal caused by the collapse of a Ponzi scheme run by Saradha Group …

I'd cut a few words:
 * The Saradha Group financial scandal (সারদা কেলেঙ্কারী) was a major political scandal caused by the collapse of a Ponzi scheme run by Saradha Group …

Surely the financial scam was not caused by the collapse of a Ponzi scheme.

Is the phrase "alleged scandal" meaningful? Is a scandal not a scandal if it's based in false rumor?

The phrase "financial scam" need not be in there at all, because anyone who doesn't know that a Ponzi scheme is a financial scam can click through and quickly learn. —Tamfang (talk) 07:11, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
