Arthur Hayes, the former chief executive of crypto exchange BitMEX who is wanted by the US government, proposed to surrender to authorities in Hawaii on April 6, according to a court filing.
Hayes is currently in Singapore, but has discussed surrendering in Hawaii and appearing remotely in a New York court, said Jessica Greenwood, assistant US attorney in Manhattan, according to a transcript of a Feb 9 hearing.
She said arrangements are under discussion that would allow Hayes to live abroad and to travel to the US for court appearances. If there’s a trial, Hayes would come to New York, Greenwood said.
