GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC) – Guyana’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Shalimar Ali-Hack, SC, says Guyanese-born, Ronley Floyd Bynoe, has been extradited to the United States on various fraud related charges dating back to 2023.

The DPP said that Bynoe, was taken from the Georgetown Camp Street Prison where he was held on remand and escorted under security to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) where he was handed over to two United States Marshals and placed on an outgoing American Airlines flight bound for the United States during the early hours on Wednesday.

The DPP said Bynoe allegedly committed the offences of misuse of a social security number, aggravated identity theft and bank fraud, in September 2023, and that a criminal indictment was filed in the District Court of the Northern District of Ohio for him to stand trial by a grand jury.

“Based on the charges, an arrest warrant was issued, but could not be served on the accused because he had fled the USA.

Investigations conducted by the US authorities, revealed that Bynoe had travelled to Guyana,” the DPP said.

The DPP said that in November last year, the US government made a request for Bynoe’s extradition to the Guyana government through the Ministry of Home Affairs which sought and obtained legal advice from the DPP’s Office on how to proceed with the extradition request from the US government.

On 16th February, 2026, pursuant to the Fugitive Offenders Act, the country’s Minister of Home Affairs, Oneidge Walrond signed and issued the authority to proceed with the extradition and two days later Bynoe was arrested by police and taken before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

He was informed of the extradition request made by the US authorities and consented to be extradited to the United States without court proceedings to face multiple fraud charges allegedly committed there, the DPP statement added.
