(Bloomberg) — Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams called off plans to hold a press conference Wednesday on his office’s prosecution of Sam Bankman-Fried amid possible delays in the FTX co-founder’s return to the US.

Bankman-Fried, who was arrested in the Bahamas last week, on Wednesday morning agreed to be extradited to the US to face fraud charges over the cryptocurrency exchange’s collapse. He’d been expected to fly back to the US soon after, but he had still not departed the Bahamas early Wednesday evening.
