SBF reportedly dropped fight against extradition but sent back to jail after latest hearing

Sam Bankman-Fried was likely to drop his extradition battle at the recent hearing since he wants to return to the U.S. and request bail.

Crypto influencer Ben Bitboy Armstrong claimed that SBF was sent back to the Bahamas jail after his latest court hearing, putting an end to extradition rumors.

Media reports earlier in the day claimed that SBF was expected to be extradited back to the U.S. on Dec. 19. However, the hearing seems to have taken a different turn due to a “mysterious event” that occurred over the weekend of Dec. 16, according to Armstrong.

CryptoSlate is currently unable to ascertain the full details of the hearing or the claims made by Armstrong.
