    Ramalinga Raju has resigned from the Satyam board, reports CNBC-TV18. Raju wrote a letter to the board giving balance sheet details. Satyam said that the balance sheet has an inflated cash and bank balance of Rs 5040 crore. Satyam added that no board member had any knowledge of the real situation as against the books. Accrued interest of Rs 376 crore in books is non-existent.

    Satayam further said that Rs 1230 crore was arranged to Satyam but was not reflected in the book

  3. STOCK IS NOW DOWN 60% AS I TYPE THIS
     
  4. WOW! crazy stuff....there were some people wondering about their actual cash position and how valid it actually was. VERY VERY bad for confidence in indian investments and "emerging markets" in general
     
  5. He's the Hindi version of Madoff. Bollywood must tell this compelling story with song and dance.
     
  6. ...since you posted it twice.



    You seem awfully excited. Do you short this thing in Aug or something?
     
  7. not necessary. looks at all the scam's going on in united states, do people have stopped investing in united states?

    madoff and this can not be compared because madoff was running ponzy scheme and cheating its investors in different way where as satyam computers is a legitimate business having 50,000 employees, it just like promotor was showing $1 billion inflated cash in balance sheet.

    I am already seeing all SEBI (security and exchange board of India) chairman and ceo's statements and strict action against all involved and further investigation of all other companies to confirm this is not happening with any other company.

    Raju is also arrested. lets see.

    Scams CAN happen in any country and BTW, FII (foreign institutional investors) have already pulled out more then 50% money from Indian Markets due to global recession started by United states Housing Bubble ;)
     
  8. yes, i posted it twice, because i originally posted it in STOCKS forum and then i realized i wanted to post it in trading forums because this will be one of the biggest opportunity for all other traders.

    Unfortunately, i did not short satyam futures because i only trade in index futures but i made good money in nifty index futures but with satyam it was like 150% returns in just 1 hour.

    it was opportunity of life time. I will keep watch for such opporutinites in future.

    I think stock still have more downside remaining and may go to RS.10 (0.2 cents) from currently (Rs.47.9) about $1.

    BTW, STOCK IS DOWN 75% AS I TYPE THIS.
     
  9. Here is bloomberg news

  10. “This company had a five-star independent board and it had a leading auditor and still it managed the con,” said Tarun Sisodia, a Mumbai-based analyst with Anand Rathi Securities Ltd. “So the question is why only Satyam, why not every other company.”

    An auditor missed the fraud? I'm shocked.
