The activist short seller Andrew Left surrendered in Los Angeles on Monday to face federal criminal securities fraud charges, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office there said.
Left, 54, is scheduled to appear before Magistrate Judge Rozella Oliver in U.S. District Court in L.A. at 4:30 p.m.
ET, where the Citron Capital hedge fund boss is expected to be released after bail conditions are set by Oliver.
"This should be Mr. Left released on his own recognizance," Spertus said.
Left, who lives in Florida, was indicted last week on 19 criminal counts by a grand jury.
