The Bahamas government has announced that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman Fried will travel to the U.S. tonight, Dec. 21.
A document from the Office of the Attorney General of the Bahamas confirmed Bankman-Fried’s departure from the island country. It added that the U.S. has requested a provisional arrest warrant for Bankman-Fried “in anticipation of his extradition according to an extradition treaty between the two nations.”
The Bahamian government further noted that Bankman-Fried’s written consent to extradition satisfies its legal requirements even without formal extradition proceedings.
Over this week, Bankman-Fried and his legal team have reversed their stance on whether they would fight extradition to the United States.
Bankman-Fried and his legal team dropped their fight against extradition on Monday, Dec. 19. The former CEO potpisali papire o ekstradiciji yesterday, Dec. 20, and immediate extradition was granted earlier today. He will attempt to secure bail in the U.S.; if that fails, he will likely be held in New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn.
Bankman-Fried was initially arrested on Dec. 12 following the collapse and bankruptcy of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange.
