His social media feeds have now gone quiet. In his glory days, he would tweet that it was ‘Fascinating to hear from Prez at Chateau Versailles’ or that he was ‘Honoured to host the first UK PM to visit Gujarat, at Adani HQ’. In the weeks since then, Adani’s spectacular fall has continued: among other reverses, he had to cancel the $2.5 billion share sale, and no longer sits near the top of the list of the world’s richest men. Modi stonewalled questions in parliament about his partnership with Adani, which began decades ago in Gujarat regulatory agencies in India conspicuously failed to investigate Adani’s use of offshore shell companies and his supporters took to the airwaves to allege that white people just couldn’t bear to see India make progress.

He hoped to raise $2.5 billion through a stock offering: Indian tycoons close to Modi had promised to buy shares, although mutual funds and retail investors were keeping a fastidious distance. The day before, a company controlled by Abu Dhabi’s royal family had pledged to invest a further $400 million in his floundering flagship business, Adani Enterprises Ltd. Standing next to Netanyahu, who had just name-checked his ‘good friend’ Modi, Adani was showing that he still had allies in high places. His ‘strategic purchase’, for which he paid a staggering $1.2 billion, also limits Chinese influence in the region. Adani’s ‘liberation’ of Haifa, as Netanyahu put it, brings closer the prospect of a rail link between Israel and its new friends in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf. Facing allegations of fraud and a stock-market rout, he appeared in Haifa on 31 January, smiling for pictures with Benjamin Netanyahu and hailing the Abraham Accords brokered by Jared Kushner as a ‘gamechanger’, as he took charge of Israel’s largest port. By the end of the month he had lost much of his fortune, after being accused by the US-based research investment firm Hindenburg Research of pulling the ‘largest con in corporate history’. When I started Midnight Mayhem, his presence faded.E arly in January, Gautam Adani, an Indian businessman and associate of India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, was the world’s third richest man. I’d hear his whispers through my internal screams, feel his shadow brush against my nightmares. A warning is a warning for a reason…īut there’s something uglier that has been haunting me for years upon years. The Brothers of Kiznitch come in fours, and they’re not happy about me being hustled into their acts. She just doesn’t know it yet.īut Midnight Mayhem was the stained glass that concealed a very dark culture.Ī culture that she is about to become the center of. She has been conditioned with our blood for years. Like a trained possession, weak against their control.
