There's a straightforward argument to make that he criminally defrauded Americans in the US, so extraditing him to face charges in the US is certainly possible.

It slows things down, but doesn't stop them.
(If "going to prison" means convicted and sentenced, I very much doubt that could happen before the end of 2023.)

- jmull 4y agoStepping over a border has an effect but doesn't confer absolute immunity. It makes the case more complicated, but I think the scale and audacity of this will motivate prosecutors to take it on. That FTX was targeting Americans seems fairly straightforward to prove... E.g., The Super Bowl commercials that aired in the US.
