Barbed wire and machine guns: Sam Bankman-Fried in the courtroom

The former FTX CEO appeared in a Bahamian court to secure his extradition to the U.S.

Sam Bankman-Fried agrees to his extradition to the U.S.

He has changed his mind: Sam Bankman-Fried has decided not to fight extradition to the United States anymore. Instead, the former FTX CEO appeared yesterday, December 19, in a Bahamian court to overturn his original decision.

Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried would be at the infamous Fox Hill prison in the Bahamas. According to reports, the prison in the Caribbean is plagued by View post on X. For example, there are reportedly no toilets or mattresses.
