HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series here ARGUMENT II. Mr. Bankman-Fried Has Standing to Invoke the Rule of Specialty. D. Six Circuits Have Also Held that Individual Defendants Have Standing to Assert the Rule of Specialty. The above reading of Barinas is consistent with the approach taken by other circuits.

Fontana, 869 F.3d 464, 468 (6th Cir. 2017) (“[A]n extradited criminal defendant may not be tried for crimes not the basis for extradition, absent waiver by the treaty partner, when such is the intent of the treaty, and relief under such a treaty obligation can be obtained at the behest of counsel for the defendant in the criminal proceeding.”); United States v. Thirion, 813 F.2d 146, 151 (8th Cir. 1987) (holding that defendant “may raise whatever objections to his prosecution that [the requested state] might have.”); United States v.

Levy, 905 F.2d 326, 328 n.1 (10th Cir. 1990) (“Rauscher gave extradited defendants a right to claim the [rule of specialty’s] protection.”) (citation and quotation marks omitted); United States v.
