NOW DEM A SEH HIM WAS ORDERED EXTRADITED ..HOLD FOR MORE
PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Jun. 18, – David Smith, the head of the failed Jamaican investment scheme, Olint, was ordered extradited to the United States when he appeared in court here on Thursday…
It is a confusing ruling. I guess if the US drops the Wire Fruad Charge, David Smith would be extradited. But the Money Laudering charge only carries a 10-year sentence and his lawyers are saying he has already served 6 years of that 10-year sentence , so technically he would only serve 4-years and I guess with good behavior, etc., he could be out in under 3-years. Not sure the US would go for that arrangement.

David Smith to challenge extradition ruling
CONVICTED Ponzi schemer David Smith is to challenge a ruling by a Turks and Caicos magistrate that he be extradited to the United States to serve time.
Douglas Leys, QC, of the firm Leys Smith, told the Jamaica Observer that the ruling delivered by Magistrate Clifton Warner is to be challenged.
Warner had delivered a split decision. On the one hand, he ruled that Smith be extradited on a charge of money laundering, while on the other hand, he refused to extradite the former Olint boss on the more serious charge of wire fraud.
The wire fraud charge carries a sentence of 20 years, while the money laundering charge carries a 10-year sentence.
Smith’s case was argued in the Turks and Caicos by Oliver Smith and Kimone Tenant of Leys Smith.
