FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried inched closer to being transferred into US custody to face criminal charges related to the cryptocurrency exchange’s collapse, after a chaotic court hearing here 19 December in which his local lawyer appeared at odds with his US legal team.
Bankman-Fried has agreed to be extradited, according to a person familiar with the matter, and plans were being fleshed out by his legal team after the day’s court proceedings. Bankman-Fried’s lawyers hope to have a new hearing on the matter as early as 20 December, the person said.
