FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has been extradited from the Bahamas and is now in federal custody in the United States, according to a U.S. prosecutor and media reports, with the accused fraudster expected to appear in front of a judge in relatively short order.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a video posted on Twitter late Wednesday night that Bankman-Fried was already in FBI custody and was on his way back to the United States.
