Washington, which has an extradition treaty with Singapore, made the request for Wang after his arrest.
At the end of proceedings, the judge granted the prosecution’s request for Wang Yunhe to be remanded a further seven days.At the State Courts on May 31, Senior District Judge Ong Hian Sun asked Wang Yunhe if he intends to surrender himself to the foreign authorities.
The judge asked Mr Ng if Wang is aware that he can give consent to his extradition and waive proceedings. The lawyer said he will speak to his client about this. During proceedings which lasted about 15 minutes, Wang tried to present his case to the judge, but was stopped by his lawyer. US officials said Wang allegedly sold access to the infected computers – in what is considered the “world’s largest botnet ever” – to cyber criminals who used the devices to commit crimes, from fraud to cyber stalking.
The DOJ said Wang, who holds a St Kitts and Nevis citizenship, allegedly received US$99 million from cyber criminals who tapped his network from 2018 to July 2022.
