Reply to comment by manfromfuture in Judge kept cooperation of Alameda CEO, FTX co-founder a secret so Sam Bankman-Fried wouldn’t get spooked and fight extradition by ihavestrings

So, the feds have like a 97% conviction rate. So if they make it to court, he’s done. The only way he makes it out of this if he has a plea deal.

Mostly they wait until the evidence is so extensive, that it's almost impossible to fuck up a case. And if something falls apart, they simply drop the case.

I think the velocity of an extradition should be somewhat of a indicator for the evidence.

The Bahamian government was cool with letting him chill out waiting for months/years. But in the jail, not out on bail waiting to flee to Dubai, or wherever he might be able to bribe his way to the next spot to flee.
