Why on Earth would he fight extradition? The alternative to coming to the US was spending years locked up in a Bahamian jail.

Bahamas aren't this terrible place to be. It's still jail in actual paradise. People in NYC would fork over a kidney for that type of view and square footage.

I don’t think people in NYC are going to the Bahamas for their jails.

Maybe not int'l travel, but someone seems to be going to this national park in SF.

"According to Bloomberg, Bankman-Fried was held in the sickbay, where he had access to a toilet, running water, a TV, local newspapers, crossword puzzles and many other perks, including vegan food. Anonymous prison officials disclosed that the former CEO spent his days watching the news and reading articles about himself."
