Gary Davis opposed extradition over alleged narcotics conspiracy charges at the High Court, reported on 14 July 2015. He was also wanted over alleged computer-hacking and money-laundering conspiracies linked to the Silk Road website.

US authorities alleged that Mr Davis was an administrator of the website, while his counsel argued that the extradition request lacked clarity and raised concerns about his possible detention and treatment in the United States. The hearing was expected to continue for several days before Mr Justice Paul McDermott.
