Who is this "Jacques Closeau" character? I think he is just another imitation put on by a well known local activist. Y Swami Y is harmless in my opinion. Have any Indian people spoken out against him? Would a Chinese or Korean accent have been more apropriate for an imitation of a wise man from the East? Or would you prefer a US southern drawl interlaced with appeals to "Pay only $5000 for my internet money making seminar" mentioned every other sentence --- imitating Shawn Casey. "Shawn" could offer to show Mike Rotkin and the city council the ropes of how to make it big in the world of bankrolling risky capitalist ventures. Or maybe some other real estate guru such as Robert Allen could offer to show the city council how they could close the deal for the hotel project with no money down (assuming they qualify for the loan by calling the place their only residence -- and don't mention to anyone that they don't have a real estate license.)
