of dollars in illegal profits, had pleaded not guilty to the
charges in June 2009.
Apart from Marimuthu, two other Indians Chokalingam
Ramanathan and Thirugnanam Ramanathan were charged in March
2007 in the international 'hack, pump and dump' scheme.
Thirugnanam, 37, had pleaded guilty on June 2, 2008 to
one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, securities
fraud, computer fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Following his arrest in Hong Kong, Ramanathan was

years in prison by Judge Camp and ordered to pay USD 362,000.
He returned to India upon completion of his sentence.
