Seven Sages

Women dip in the river to wash away sins during Rishipanchami, a day for worship of the seven sages revered as enlightened beings guiding humanity through the ages.

Far be it from me to disagree with Chilon of Sparta, one of the Seven Sages of Greece, who is believed to have been the first to say, “Of the dead, nothing but good is to be said.”

Titled “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove,” the overall image recalls the Orchid Pavilion affair, but has fewer participants, with each — whether writer, musician, or celebrity lush — carefully personalized.

Between 2011 and 2015, Mr. Malik claimed to be the founder and chief executive officer of a series of hedge funds, including Seven Sages Capital L.P. and Wolf Hedge LLC.

Authorities said Malik from 2011 to 2015 lured investors to hedge funds under the names Wall Street Creative Partners, Seven Sages Capital, American Bridge Investments and most recently Wolf Hedge, claiming that he invested more than $100 million and routinely generated market-beating returns.
