Fallen crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried left the Bahamas on Wednesday night and landed in New York after he was transferred to FBI custody.
Bankman-Fried, who is being prosecuted in the Southern District of New York, faces fraud and other criminal charges related to the sudden implosion of his billion-dollar empire and crypto exchange FTX.
The alleged fraudster will appear in front of a federal judge “as soon as possible,” Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams said in a Wednesday night statement.
