The change of heart suggests the founder of the crypto exchange founder could leave his notorious Bahamas jail.
FTX founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried will no longer contest extradition to the U.S. from the Bahamas, multiple media outlets have reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Bankman-Fried was arrested on Dec. 12 in the Bahamas following a U.S. request after the crypto exchange's Nov. 11 bankruptcy filing. He faces charges from the Department of Justice, Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission, including allegations that he misused customer funds and misled investors.
