Abstract:Sam Bankman-Fried agrees to be extradited in the United States.
When he appears in court on Monday, former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is anticipated to accept extradition to the United States, where he faces fraud accusations, according to Reuters.
This comes after Mr. Bankman-Fried was arrested in Nassau, Bahamas, on December 12 and appeared in Magistrate Court the next day.In federal court in Manhattan, the 30-year-old cryptocurrency billionaire was accused of engaging in a scheme to defraud FTX clients by paying fees and bills with billions of dollars in stolen deposits and making investments for his cryptocurrency hedge fund, Alameda Research LLC.
What motivated Bankman-Fried to alter his mind and decide not to resist extradition is unknown. However, by accepting extradition, he will face prosecution in the United States for wire fraud, money laundering, and campaign finance law breaches.
Bankman-Fried, according to his defense lawyer Zachary Margulis-Ohnuma, will likely be detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn upon arrival and will have his first court appearance within 48 hours or sooner. Bankman-Fried will be asked to enter a plea during the hearing, and a judge will decide on bail.
Michael Weinstein, a veteran federal prosecutor, and white-collar defense attorney believe the unaccounted-for cash is enough for prosecutors to fear he would run and expects the court to set “restrictive and onerous terms” even if pretrial release is granted.
Bankman-Fried admitted to failings in risk management at FTX but said he was not criminally culpable.
