Tahilramani’s lawyers have previously tried to stop any potential extradition to the US, where he faces eight charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, two counts of wire fraud – which each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment – and five counts of aggravated identity theft, all of which hold two years each.

Last year Joel Smith, representing the US, said Tahilramani was the “mastermind” behind the expansive scheme. Smith said that once victims arrived in Indonesia, they would
