"US Attorney Preet Bharara has already taken down some of the financial world's most prominent figures. He's just getting started," says the cover story written by Bill Saporito and Massimo Calabresi.
Born of a Sikh father and Hindu mother, 43-year-old Bharara grew in New Jersey a State which has a significant Indian-American population. He graduated from the prestigious Harvard College in 1990.
