In recent days, accusations have been flung of a calculated scheme to defraud investors by insider trading with the use of drug money to turn black money white, with the blessing of the government as the players are highly connected to the regime. The other implication of the story was that once Duminda Silva met his fate, the flow of drug money also slowed so much due to the unavailability, that there was a shortage of this to invest in the market, by the players, and specifically Dilith Jayaweera, a partner in an advertising agency that is co-owned by the daughter of a minister in government. This accusation that has just been gagged went on to say that this was another reason for the fall in the CSE stock prices.
The aforesaid individual has amassed a fortune on questionable speculation and pump and dump schemes, using drug money as the starting base, as otherwise his source of funds cannot be accounted for. Lets face it if drug money is used, then you are able to place huge bets on the market, as you can afford to lose as it is not hard earned and carefully collected funds. Shan Wickremasinghe, the brother of the leader of the opposition has made some of these accusations, and he had repeated them on the BBC when his life was also threatened. Ironically Shan’s sister is a very good friend of the Dilith’s business partner, so threats were conveyed using this source. Needless to say in SL there has been a defamatory claim by Dilith to the tune of millions from both Shan and also the BBC for naming him and implicating him in this sordid business.
Think for a moment. If you were innocent would you file an action claiming that you were wrongly and wantonly accused of heinous crimes you did not commit? I rather think not as I have nothing to fear from lies. It is the truth that hurts. Further I will not spend hard earned money in defending myself from false accusations.
The court order issued today is effectively a gag order preventing Shan and his TV station from further making these allegations against this man. I seriously wonder if the implicated person was a member of the opposition, if the court order would be forthcoming. I therefore question the independence of the judiciary in this instance and say they have been nobbled! Slang for been compromised.
It will be interesting to see how far this issue goes from here, and the fear people have when messing with this kind of bully, only using a position gained temporarily out of circumstances and not with the use of innate entrepreneurial skills. Whilst I hope justice prevails here, I would really like the police to conduct a proper investigation and come out with the facts. The problem is that in the current environment, the police are unable to impartially check on credentials to come out with the truth and therefore even here justice will not prevail.
We must therefore conclude that we cannot get justice in this case and whatever outcome is forthcoming, it becomes a mere power play of the rich and mighty against the rest of us mortals. When can we expect real justice? I think only when these monsters are finally brought to book for their crimes. Of course they live in complete oblivion about their moral stature, and hope their crimes will catch up with them sooner rather than later.
People do not make accusations of this nature for fun, as they are very serious and are of national importance to safeguard the nation from the oppression and tyranny of a set too inebriated with power to realize it.
