Gary Davis is awaiting a High Court ruling on his extradition over alleged drug, hacking and money-laundering conspiracies, following a hearing on 1 December 2015. The US alleges he administered the Silk Road website, while Davis opposes surrender and says detention conditions could be inhuman and degrading.

Mr Justice Paul McDermott reserved his decision and hoped to deliver it in early February. The State said Davis should be surrendered, while counsel said assurances had been given that his condition would be monitored if extradited.
