Robert Granieri, a cofounder of trading firm Jane Street, has been implicated in funneling millions into a coup attempt in South Sudan, allegedly funding weapons intended for the opposition. While Granieri claims he was misled by a supposed activist, others argue his financial contributions were crucial to the conspiracy. The case sheds light on the ethical complications of financial involvement in global conflicts, especially within the context of Granieri's previous philanthropic efforts and the controversial history of his firm linked to past financial misconduct.
Granieri's funding allegedly included millions for rifles, Stinger missiles, bulletproof vests, and grenades meant to topple South Sudan's government.
Ajak's lawyers state that without Granieri’s significant financing, the alleged conspiracy would have been impossible, challenging his claims of being duped.
Granieri's attorney argues he was misled by someone he believed to be an activist, framing his actions as part of his long history of supporting human rights.
The scenario unfolds against the backdrop of Jane Street's notorious history, including its association with Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX fraud case.
