Wharton School: Forcing Ground

Born in Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo, Rajaratnam was educated there at St. Thomas’ Preparatory School before leaving for England, where he studied engineering at the University of Sussex.

Both pleaded guilty and testified for prosecutors.

Found guilty on all counts today.
