Luminar's founder and former CEO, Austin Russell, has agreed to accept an electronic subpoena related to the company's bankruptcy case. The subpoena seeks information from Russell's phone as Luminar navigates its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed in late December 2025. The company has accused Russell of evading legal requests, including attempts to recover company-owned devices since his resignation in May 2025.
