NASSAU, Dec 21 (Reuters) - FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's extradition hearing in The Bahamas was adjourned on Wednesday after the 30-year-old founder of the cryptocurrency exchange said he consented to being extradited to the United States, where he faces fraud charges.

Bankman-Fried's defense lawyer told a magistrate judge in open court in the Caribbean nation that his client was "anxious to leave." (Reporting by Jack Queen in Nassau; Writing by Luc Cohen; Editing by Mark Porter)
