前巴克莱（BARC）商人克里斯托弗·阿什顿（Christopher Ashton），前花旗集团（C）G-10 FX spot trading head Rohan Ramchandani, and ex-JPMorgan Chase (JPM)trader Richard Usher have agreed to waive extradition. They will travel to the US to appear in the Federal District Court in Manhattan in July. The former UK traders are criminally charged in the US for their alleged involvement in a conspiracy to manipulate forex markets. They allegedly conspired to rig bids involved in euro trading to the US dollar.

The three men are accused of belonging to “the Cartel,” which are a group of traders that colluded together through emails, chat rooms, and the phone to rig currency probes. Although British authorities ended their probe into currency rigging last year without bringing criminal charges against any individuals, US authorities have proceeded with their own criminal probes.
