山姆·班克曼-弗莱德周三对巴哈马法院表示,他已经同意被引渡回美国,面对与加密货币交易平台FTX破产有关的刑事指控。据巴哈马媒体Our News报道,这位FTX前CEO出现在一所治安法院,预计他将乘坐奥德赛航空公司(Odyssey Aviation)的航班返回美国。
巴哈马当局上周应美国政府的请求逮捕了班克曼-弗莱德。美国检察官指控他在FTX快速破产过程中发挥了关键作用,并且他向公众和投资者隐瞒了该平台存在的问题。美国证券交易委员会(Securities and Exchange Commission)表示,班克曼-弗莱德非法使用投资者的资金,以其本人和家人的名义购买房地产。
30岁的班克曼-弗莱德可能余生都要在狱中度过。
在巴哈马法官裁决他会造成航空风险后,周五他的保释被拒绝。这位FTX创始人兼前CEO的个人财富一度达到数百亿美元。他目前被羁押在巴哈马福克斯希尔监狱。该监狱曾被人权组织批评环境恶劣,并且老鼠和虫子泛滥。
在回到美国后,班克曼-弗莱德的律师就可以申请为他保释。(财富中文网)

Sam Bankman-Fried told a Bahamian court Wednesday that he has agreed to be extradited to the U.S. to face criminal charges related to the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The former FTX CEO appeared at a Magistrate’s Court and is expected to head to Odyssey Aviation to return to the United States, according to Bahamian news organization Our News.
Bahamian authorities arrested Bankman-Fried last week at the request of the U.S. government. U.S. prosecutors allege he played a central role in the rapid collapse of FTX and hid its problems from the public and investors. The Securities and Exchange Commission said Bankman-Fried illegally used investors’ money to buy real estate on behalf of himself and his family.
The 30-year-old could potentially spend the rest of his life in jail.
Bankman-Fried was denied bail Friday after a Bahamian judge ruled that he posed a flight risk. The founder and former CEO of FTX, once worth tens of billions of dollars on paper, is being held in the Bahamas’ Fox Hill prison, which has been has been cited by human rights activists as having poor sanitation and as being infested with rats and insects.
Once he’s back in the U.S., Bankman-Fried’s attorney will be able to request that he be released on bail.
