SEC and U.S. Attorney Charge Three Offshore Hackers Manipulating Market
Today the United States Securities and Exchange Commission announced the filing of civil charges against Jaisankar Marimuthu, Chockalingam Ramanathan and Thirugnanam Ramanathan, three Indian nationals who participated in a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the prices of at least fourteen securities through the unauthorized use of other people’s online brokerage accounts. One victim had $180,000 cash and equity in his online brokerage account before a five-day fishing trip only to find a negative $200,000 balance when he returned.
In a related action, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that a federal court in Nebraska today unsealed a twenty-three count indictment against the individuals charged in the Commission’s complaint.
