Andrew Left wants his fraud conviction tossed after witness gets caught up in insider trading probe
A witness who testified against Andrew Left has become involved in an insider trading probe, a new twist in the short-seller's fraud conviction.
Andrew Left, the founder of Citron Research, has asked a judge to overturn his conviction on 13 counts of securities fraud. According to his lawyers, a witness who testified against him during the trial has become involved in an insider trading probe. The original trial was deemed unfair, as the lawyers claim they were not given the opportunity to question this witness about the investigation and discredit his credibility. If a new trial is granted, it is expected to result in an acquittal.
