- The brothers, known for their controversial social media presence promoting wealth and misogyny, have denied all wrongdoing and are currently awaiting extradition proceedings to the U.K.
- The extradition process involves a U.S. federal court hearing and a decision by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with bail unlikely as extradition cases rarely grant it.
