Former Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta surrendered to FBI officials on Wednesday morning. Gupta faces criminal charges in a massive hedge fund insider trading case. He has been under investigation over whether he leaked corporate secrets to Raj Rajaratnam, the co-founder of the hedge fund the Galleon Group.
