His name was there and he's described as entrepreneur, business consultant, etc.
But the talk he was given, which was pitched at 15 to 18 year olds, was all about his life to date, his dinner with presidents and famous sportsmen and nice cars.
American colleges, and all these high profile people he had come in contact with.
Yeah.
So as far as I know, this came about by way of a talk.
He was given one of these motivational talks and he was spotted by somebody and somebody in the know who mentioned him to somebody else.
And all of a sudden he is appointed to this entrepreneurship forum that was established in and around 2012, 2013.
by Richard Bruton, who was then Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
And he was on this seven-person panel.
There was various people on the panel.
The ex-Dragon, Sean O'Sullivan, was the chair.
There was a number of other people on it.
And basically, they were tasked with
advising the government on policies around entrepreneurship, startups, the tech industry.
And Rama Morthy, in particular, he was described as representing the local and international entrepreneurship network.
So that kind of opened the door for him to another network, politically connected network of people.
No, no, I contacted Richard Bruton myself.
Richard has confirmed that he did not give a reference in this case.
There's two offences.
Ramamurthy was convicted of sexually exploiting a 13-year-old boy in 2017 by asking him to send a sexually explicit image over Snapchat.
