Andrew Left Set to Appear in Court in Push to Toss Fraud Charges
Activist short seller Andrew Left is set to appear in federal court Monday in a securities fraud case that shook the industry a year ago, setting up a battle over investor tips and free speech.
A judge in Los Angeles will hear arguments on whether to dismiss the criminal case accusing Left of using false and misleading social-media posts about his trading intentions in more than a dozen companies to make a quick profit. Left claims the US Justice Department is targeting him unfairly and hasn't proved he told a single lie.
