GUYANESE-born Ronley Floyd Bynoe has been extradited to the United States to face multiple fraud-related charges following a request by US authorities.
According to a statement issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Bynoe was formally extradited on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, after being transferred from local custody and handed over to American officials at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).
The DPP’s Chambers stated that Bynoe had been on remand at the Georgetown Camp Street Prison pending the extradition process.
“Bynoe was taken from the Georgetown Camp Street Prison where he was held on remand pending the extradition at approximately 21:00 hours on Tuesday night. He was escorted under security to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) where he was handed over to two US Marshals and placed on an outgoing American Airlines flight bound for the USA at 1:30AM,” the release detailed.
Bynoe is wanted in the United States on allegations of Misuse of a Social Security Number, aggravated identity theft, and bank fraud.
The charges stem from a criminal indictment filed in September 2023 in the District Court of the Northern District of Ohio, where he is expected to stand trial before a grand jury.
Authorities said an arrest warrant was issued in the US but could not initially be served after investigations revealed that Bynoe had fled the country and travelled to Guyana.
In November 2025, the US government submitted a formal request to the Government of Guyana seeking his extradition through the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The ministry subsequently sought legal advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions on how to proceed with the request.
On February 16, 2026, Minister of Home Affairs Oneidge Walrond signed and issued the authority to proceed with the extradition under Section 12(1) of the Fugitive Offenders Act, Chapter 10:04, as amended by the Fugitive Offenders (Amendment) Act 2024.
Bynoe was arrested by local police two days later, on February 18, 2026, and appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court the following day.
During that hearing, he was informed of the extradition request made by US authorities and consented to be extradited without court proceedings in order to face the charges in the United States.
The extradition marks the completion of the legal process initiated following the US government’s request and clears the way for Bynoe to answer the allegations in a US court.
