Raj Rajaratnam convicted: what kind of time are we talking?

Hedge fund founder could be sentenced to 20 years on each count of securities fraud and five years on each count of conspiracy

The fact that a federal jury convicted Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam on all 14 counts of securities fraud and conspiracy, likely isn’t the last we’ll hear of the case.

But it does provide a clear jumping off point for trying to figure out where Rajaratnam's conviction puts him in the pantheon of Wall Street insider trading. Rajaratnam could be sentenced to as many as 20 years in prison on each count of securities fraud and up to five years on each count of conspiracy.
