Gautam Adani broke his silence Saturday, finally responding to U.S. allegations of a $265 million bribery scheme linked to his empire.

His defense? Basically: "We're committed to world-class compliance!" Which is kind of like saying, "I promise I'm really good at Monopoly rules," while the board is on fire.

This is Adani's second crisis in just two years - proof that even billionaires can’t catch a break.

The fallout? One Indian state is reconsidering a power deal with his group, TotalEnergies in France has hit the pause button on its investments, and India's parliament has turned into a boxing ring over the Adani saga. Forget politics as usual - this is Adani-mania, and it's disrupting everything.

Speaking at an awards ceremony (because where else would you address allegations?), Adani brushed off the drama, saying, "This isn't the first time we've faced challenges." Translation: "Been there, done that, got the lawsuit."

For now, it seems the Adani Group is trying to weather the storm, but with so many players pulling out and parliament throwing chairs (probably), it feels less like a power company and more like a reality show.

Will Adani survive this season of "Billionaire Drama: The Indian Edition"? Stay tuned.
