NEW YORK (AP) - A former Goldman Sachs board member linked to a massive hedge fund insider trading case has surrendered in New York City to face criminal charges.
Rajat Gupta surrendered in federal court in Manhattan on Wednesday.
Gupta's name played prominently at the trial of former hedge fund titan Raj Rajaratnam (rahj rah-juh-RUHT'-nuhm), convicted this year of insider trading. Jurors heard wiretaps of the men discussing what prosecutors portrayed as inside information about Goldman Sachs.
Rajaratnam got 11 years in prison.
Gupta's lawyer says the allegations are "totally baseless."
