If Congress issued a subpoena, why would any judge reasonably withhold a willing detainee?
Also, it what universe would bail make sense for such an obvious flight risk?
- from 4y agoArthur Hayes of Bitmex got bail (after he agreed to extradition) and had substantial ties to Singapore. But then again he wasn’t looking at 40 years.

As for flight risk the Bahamas had previously confiscated his passport and he wasn't able to get himself smuggled out in the last 2 weeks so he doesn't appear hugely flighty, but then again knowing that he's being formally charged may change that.
