Sam Bankman-Fried agreed to extradition in a Bahamian court on Wednesday, clearing the way for his transport to the U.S. to face federal charges.
The disgraced former CEO is expected to be put on a U.S. government plane for a flight to New York.
« I hereby consent in writing to be extradited without formal extradition proceedings, » Bankman-Fried said in a signed affidavit.
He took the witness stand to confirm his signature and that his decision was voluntary.
« I therefore formally commit you to custody while you await your extradition, » Magistrate Shaka Serville said.
The move came a day after Bankman-Fried signed extradition papers in the Bahamas, where he lived in a multimillion-dollar mansion, after waffling on the decision since his initial court appearance last week.
Bankman-Fried was arrested last week in the Bahamas after federal prosecutors in New York filed an eight-count indictment including allegations of fraud and conspiracy.
