Washington/Nassau | A court hearing in the Bahamas in which Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, was expected to agree to extradition to the United States ended in turmoil on Monday (Tuesday AEDT) with Mr Bankman-Fried being sent back to the prison where he has been held for the past week.
A judge ordered the crypto entrepreneur returned to the Fox Hill jail in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, after one of the prosecutors chided Mr Bankman-Fried’s local defence lawyer for not being prepared to proceed.
