Guyanese national Ronley Floyd Bynoe has been extradited to the United States to face multiple fraud-related charges stemming from 2023, according to Director of Public Prosecutions Shalimar Ali-Hack, SC.
In a statement, the DPP said Bynoe was removed from the Georgetown Camp Street Prison, where he had been on remand, and escorted under tight security to Cheddi Jagan International Airport. There, he was handed over to two United States Marshals and placed on an outgoing American Airlines flight bound for the United States in the early hours of Wednesday.
Authorities allege that Bynoe committed the offences of misuse of a social security number, aggravated identity theft and bank fraud in September 2023. A criminal indictment was subsequently filed in the District Court of the Northern District of Ohio for him to stand trial before a grand jury.
“Based on the charges, an arrest warrant was issued, but could not be served on the accused because he had fled the USA.
Investigations conducted by the US authorities, revealed that Bynoe had travelled to Guyana,” the DPP said.
According to the statement, the United States government formally requested Bynoe’s extradition in November 2025 through Guyana’s Ministry of Home Affairs. The ministry sought and obtained legal advice from the DPP’s Chambers on how to proceed under local law.
On February 16, 2026, pursuant to the Fugitive Offenders Act, Minister of Home Affairs Oneidge Walrond signed and issued the authority to proceed with the extradition. Two days later, Bynoe was arrested by police and brought before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
He was informed of the extradition request made by US authorities and consented to be extradited to the United States without court proceedings to face the fraud charges, the DPP added.
