I worked for Tom for a short time when he first came to Wesleyan. I must say he was easy going and very nice man. I still remember going thru the files together. I can't believe what I am hearing about his deeds. I quess sometimes we want too many material things and get gready. Too bad, what a waste of good talent.

Thomas Kannam was NOT a brilliant investment manager as someone above has mentioned. He is a guy who rode the wave of strong economic performance and just was in the right place at the right time. When the economy went south, our endowment fund imploded thanks to that worthless sack of shit. I hope he is convicted and spends a decade in the same cell as his homosexual partner in crime Bernie Madoff. They deserve each other for there dishonesty and crimminal behavior. Kannam you are an asshole.

Brutal Wesleyan student body. I'd admonish you, except that what you wrote in your posts is true. Tone it down a bit. We agree with you.

Hahaha, Anand, you and Kannam are part of the same mutual admiration society of assholes who fuck up everyone else's lives and then enjoy life in the most free democracy on the earth. You and Kannam are the reason CANING and public flogging should be continued. Anand, you are either a total asshole or an incredibly naive jerk. Either way, stop breathing my air and go back to Calcutta.

Everything you read is only one side of the story. People make bad decisions and sometimes cross lines, but I don't believe that Mr. Kannam ever had anything but good intentions. Regardless of blurred lines which may or may not exist, he was a man of honesty and integrity and should be remembered as such.

It doesn't matter how good or bad he was for the endowment, etc. If the allegations are true, the sociopath should rot.

Could there be better evidence for the theory of "multiple intelligences" than the guy used Wesleyan e-mail resources to communicate his misadventures?

Tip from a Computer Science alum: don't use work computers for sketchy crap. There's no such thing as private email

Both Kannam and Gill worked at Wood Gundy. In 2005 Gill had a foreclosure http://civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov/CaseDetail/PublicCaseDetail.aspx?DocketNo=NNHCV054005670S
