Navinder Singh Sarao, the trader accused of contributing to the 2010 flash crash, will be let out on bail today after the US authorities dropped their opposition to his release.
Mr Sarao, who has been in Wandsworth prison since his arrest in April, will be confined to within the M25 ahead of a full extradition hearing next month for a trial in the United States.
To address concerns that Mr Sarao was a flight risk, his US lawyers have set up an escrow account with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission to hold all of Mr Sarao's assets, including the £25.5m that he has now revealed is held in Swiss accounts.
Of this sum, roughly £2.5m has been set aside to at some stage pay his legal costs. Some of the assets are tied up in long-term investments that cannot be released in full until 2017, but will be added to the escrow account once they are available, the court heard.
As a result, Wesminster Magistrates Court has dropped a requirement for Mr Sarao to post £5m security before he can be released on bail.
He had previously said he was unable to pay the bail money as all of his funds were subject to a worldwide freezing order. His family have already paid a £50,000 security into the court as part of the bail conditions that were set in April.
The court was also told that Mr Sarao has been diagnosed with severe Asperger's syndrome.
The 36-year-old financial trader is accused of helping precipitate a “flash crash” by making bogus offers to trade on one of the worlds' biggest financial markets.
Trades he made from his parents' house in Hounslow, west London in 2010 coincided with a multi-billion dollar plunge in the value of US shares, in a crash that began in the S&P derivatives market and soon spread to the Dow Jones index.
Mr Sarao faces extradition to the US on Department of Justice charges that carry a maximum sentence of 380 years if he is found guilty.
