Gary Davis’s extradition hearing over alleged Silk Road conspiracy charges began at the High Court, reported on 14 July 2015. US authorities seek his surrender over alleged conspiracy to distribute narcotics, computer hacking and money laundering connected with the website. Davis opposes extradition and remains on bail.

The hearing was expected to last several days before Mr Justice Paul McDermott. Davis’s lawyers argued that the charges lacked clarity and that detention in the US could pose risks because of his Aspergers and depression.
