FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's fraud lawsuit could be delayed for "months or even years" by adding additional charges, his lawyers said in a legal filing Monday. Bankman-Fried, who is currently out on bail, was extradited back to the U.S. in December after his crypto empire went bankrupt last November. He has pleaded not guilty to charges including wire fraud and money laundering. Defense attorneys say the charges added by the U.S. Department of Justice after his extradition could violate the treaty between the U.S. and the Bahamas, and that he has the right to contest any attempt to add them in court overseas.
