selfishly levied by floating wrong
floating wrong information
information about the illegal scheme
Ethical analysis
Rawlsian Distributed Principles of justice were violated. Investors and top brass of
Sahara were not equally. Wrong information was floated. Secondly, the
underprivileged investors wealth was put at stake instead of ensuring maximum
advantage to them
Moral Analysis
Applying Kantian philosophy if everyone in the world would follow Roys steps, the
financial markets and the social fabric would march towards monetary destruction
and bankruptcy. Case fails moral analysis.
Problem Resolution
The problem can be solved by having a body to specifically test the legal and
regulatory framework for probable loopholes which can be exploited against
innocent investors in the wake of greed and power
