September 9, 2019 (LBO) – Former hedge fund titan and billionaire Raj Rajaratnam has been released from prison early after being incarcerated for almost 8 years.

Rajaratnam (62) will serve the remainder of his prison sentence at home, with some privileges to work outside of the household. Raj Rajaratnam was the central figure in an insider trading investigation that generated a media frenzy in the United States.
