Media reports: Sam Bankman-Fried agrees to extradition to the United States

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has agreed to extradition to the United States, where he faces fraud and money-laundering charges, Bloomberg reports. Acting Bahamas Department of Corrections Commissioner Doan Cleer told the agency that SBF signed the extradition documents on December 20. He said the fight against extradition could take years and that Bankman-Fried probably did not want to stay for four or five years, as Cleer told The Tribune. He added that Bankman-Fried should confirm his decision on December 21 and, then, be transported to the United States on a private flight. The New York Times reports that SBF's lawyers are negotiating bail with prosecutors, potentially under extremely restrictive conditions such as home detention and an electronic bracelet. On December 12 Bahamian authorities arrested Bankman-Fried at the request of the U.S. government; the court denied his $250,000 bail petition, citing flight risk. On December 18 Reuters reported that SBF refused to contest extradition to the United States. U.S. prosecutors charged the former head of the exchange with eight criminal charges, including conspiracy and fraud involving electronic funds. He could face up to 115 years in prison. Bankman-Fried also faced lawsuits from U.S. regulators. The SEC charged him with organizing a fraudulent scheme, deceiving investors and misusing client funds, and the CFTC charged him with violations of the Commodity Exchange Act.
