Prosecutors Argue Against Dismissing Criminal Charges Against Sam Bankman-Fried in the U.S.

Prosecutors have argued that the criminal charges against Sam Bankman-Fried, including technicalities around his extradition back to the U.S. and campaign finance violations, are valid and should not be dismissed. Bankman-Fried had filed pretrial motions to dismiss most charges levied against him by U.S. prosecutors, but prosecutors contend that the extradition treaty with the Bahamas allows for post-extradition charges with the consent of the extraditing country, and any charges presented post-extradition in new indictments do not violate this rule. Bankman-Fried is due in a New York court in October.
