Peter Coker Jr was under arrest a week ago by the Thai police in Phuket, this happened 3 months after he and his father Peter Coker Sr., and another person James Patten was accused of a crime in New Jersey federal court.

Thai Police said Coker jr. entered the country with a passport that was issued by the Caribbean island st. Kitts and Nevis. That nation sells citizenship in exchange for investments there.
“Mr. Coker jr voluntarily consented to be extradited to the U.S., which has simplified the court’s legal process,” Teerat limpayaraya said.
“We have to complete a 30-day waiting period as required by Thai law before sending him back,” said Teerat.
The prosecutor said that Coker jr, was visibly frail when he was taken in and told that he would be needing medical treatment for the disease of the liver.
“We believe that he entered Thailand with a possible plan to settle here,” Teerat said.
The Coker and Patten were accused of a scheme in which they bid up the value shares of hometown and e-waste, both of these had high capitalization in the market, though they were holding little assets of value. Later both companies found merger partners.
