Editor's note: Ratchet+Wrench is aware that Raju Sagiraju was recently involved in a lawsuit. Sagiraju pleaded no contest to three felony counts of securities fraud and three felony counts of grand theft. He was sentenced to five years in jail, but was pardoned soon afterwards. Carmates is separate from that court case.
