WASHINGTON — Federal authorities are set to whisk Sam Bankman-Fried to the U.S. on Wednesday to face a range of criminal charges related to the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange.
Bankman-Fried signed his surrender documents on Tuesday, according to Bahamas Acting Commissioner of Corrections Doan Cleare. He’ll sign a separate set of papers finalizing his waiver of rights to fight extradition at the Magistrate’s Court in Nassau on Wednesday.
After that the FTX co-founder will be accompanied by FBI agents on a non-commercial aircraft back to the U.S., according to a person familiar with the matter. The plane will leave from a private airport in the island nation, said another person, who also asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the plans.
