Among the bail conditions are home detention, location monitoring, and surrender of his passport. On December 20, the former FTX CEO signed surrender papers, allowing his extradition from the Bahamas to the United States, where he faces eight charges that could land him in prison for the rest of his life. Bankman-Fried will now remain at home with his family while awaiting his sentence.
