Investigation Details
On January 7, 2009, Satyam Computer Services' Chairman B. Ramalinga Raju sent a letter to the Satyam Board of Directors and the Securities & Exchange Board of India admitting a "multi-year" fraud in which Satyam's financial accounts and disclosures were systematically falsified. Raju admitted to having inflated the amount of cash on Satyam's balance sheet by nearly $1 billion, incurring liability of $253 million on funds arranged by him personally, and overstating Satyam's September 2008 quarterly revenues by 76% and profits by 97%.
As a result of this disclosure trading in the ADSs was halted, with an estimated indication of a loss being approximately 90% of its value.
Investors in Satam's stock were simply crushed by this fraud. This class action seeks to recoup for investors whatever portion of their losses the law permits.
