VOA标准英语2009年-Indian Government Yanks Lifeline for Scandalize
时间：2019-01-13 作者：英语课 分类：VOA标准英语2009年(一月)
Indian officials are ruling out a government bailout for one of the country's largest information technology enterprises, Satyam Computer. This comes following speculation 2 Satyam was under consideration to receive a lifeline from the government after its founder 3 - who admitted to conducting $1 billion-plus fraud - was arrested.

Government officials say they will try to preserve the jobs of tens of thousands of Satyam employees, but are not looking to bail 1 out the high-tech 4 company.
Minister of State for Industry Ashwani Kumar says India's government is not going to directly or indirectly 5 subsidize what he calls "wrongdoing and fraud in Satyam."
Earlier, some top government officials had said a massive cash bailout was under consideration.
Satyam - one of India's largest software and outsourcing entities 6 - is in a deep crisis, after founder B. Ramalinga Raju revealed he had falsified company accounts to the tune 7 of nearly $1.5 billion.
Despite the depth of the financial debacle, Indian minister of state for corporate 8 affairs, Prem Chand Gupta, tells reporters it is premature 9 to talk of a government rescue package for the troubled company and that Satyam has not requested such a bailout.
"The company may not need that. They have sufficient receivables. Their clients are all triple-A class clients. And, then, now it is for the new board [of directors] to take a view," said Gupta.
The government appointed a board of eminent 10 outsiders, after ousting 11 the corporation's directors.
Analysts 12 say the situation at Satyam is so confusing it is difficult to know just how many employees and clients the company has, let alone ascertain 13 its financial standing 14.
Satyam has appointed two new auditing 15 firms to examine the extent of the fraud and restate financial results for the publicly-traded company. Once that happens, Satyam may be able to approach equity 16 partners or banks for a loan.
Satyam had a valuation of $7 billion, six months ago but its shares have plunged 17 about 90 percent since the scandal came to light, last week.
Authorities say Satyam founder Raju has admitted falsely inflating 18 profits for years. Raju, his brother and Satyam's former chief financial officer have been jailed and face criminal charges.
Satyam's clients include many of the world's largest corporations.
