Guyanese extradited to face fraud charges in the U.S
(Kaieteur News) – Guyanese-born Ronley Floyd Bynoe was extradited from Guyana to the United States of America (USA) on Wednesday 4th March, 2026 to face a series of fraud charges. This is according to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Shalimar Ali-Hack, SC.
Extradited Guyanese-born Ronley Floyd Bynoe
In a statement on Wednesday, the DPP said Bynoe was taken from the Georgetown Camp Street Prison where he was held on remand pending the extradition. He was escorted under security to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) where he was handed over to two US Marshalls and placed on an outgoing American Airlines flight bound for the US.
Bynoe allegedly committed the offences of Misuse of a Social Security Number, Aggravated Identity Theft and Bank Fraud; in September 2023, a criminal indictment NO. 1:23 CR00534 was filed in the District Court of the Northern District of Ohio USA 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 US. Investigations conducted by the US Authorities, revealed that Bynoe had travelled to Guyana.
In November 2025, 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 US government.
On February 16, 2026, pursuant to section 12(1) of the Fugitive Offenders Act, Chapter 10:04 as amended by the Fugitive Offenders (Amendment) Act 2024, Minister of Home Affairs, Oneidge Walrond signed and issued the Authority to Proceed with the extradition.
Notably, Bynoe was arrested by local police and taken before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on February 19, 2026, where he was informed of the extradition request made by the US Authorities. According to the DPP, Bynoe consented to be extradited to the US without Court proceedings to face multiple fraud charges he allegedly committed there.
