Being a US born and knowing the consequences of the crime, Rajat is lucky to get away with just 2 years in jail. A few years ago a Pakistani investment banker was jailed for 25 years for a similar crime.

quid-pro-quo

Hard luck that you travelled fron "quid-pro-quo" land to Us where crime is treated as crime not only when you are benefited but when you commited.
