According to the SEC, Satyam Computer Services Ltd.("Satyam" or the Company) is an information technology services company based in Hyderabad, India.

Class action Complaints have been filed in the U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of New York and the Northern District of California. The original Complaint alleges that the Company and its two top executives violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing false and misleading financial statements. On January 7, 2009, the Company's 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. According to the letter, Raju admitted to having inflated the amount of cash on the Company'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.

On March 13, 2009, District Court Judge Barbara S.
