>That's because sbf was a US citizen. Nope, that's incidental. If he were foreign, and had committed the fraud he did against the US, he would likely also be extradited to here to stand trial, the same as, e.g., these three Nigerian nationals [1] or this Jamaican [2] (or, if you search for a moment, hundreds of other cases). >And presumably this is all paid by the recovered money, not the taxpayer. It's paid by the taxpayer, through the budgets of the DOJ, the same way things like Enron, Madoff, and other massive frauds are not paid out of recovered money, which is used to pay off creditors. You can check the line item in the federal budget that pays the DOJ, so that's not a question that taxpayers pay for these legal enforcements. If you want to claim "presumably" please show the valid source where this entire criminal cost will be paid for by the recovered money.
