SBF Is Being Extradited to US on Wednesday, Bahamas Attorney General Says

Ryan Pinder, attorney general of The Bahamas, said in a statement that SBF is being extradited to the U.S. on Wednesday evening.

The statement said, "today the Foreign Minister, who is the Minister responsible for the Extradition Act, signed the Warrant of Surrender for Sam Bankman-Fried. This allows the extradition of the subject to the United States of America."

In another statement from the Bahamas, it said, "the United States requested that a provisional arrest warrant be issued for SBF in anticipation of his extradition pursuant to an extradition Treaty between the two nations. After the arrest, SBF subsequently waived his right to challenge his extradition to the United States. The Bahamas has determined that the provisional arrest, and subsequent written consent by SBF to be extradited without formal extradition proceedings satisfies the requirements of the Treaty and our nation's Extradition Act."
