Losing your money sucks but it's preferable to losing your freedom. It is very likely the parents are guilty of abetting or enabling the fraud in some way.
SBF "agreed" to be extradited, that implies some negotiation. The only possible incentive I can think of him agreeing to what is shaping up to be a slam-dunk case of a very long prison term, is immunity for the parents.
I seriously doubt this. The long-term ability to improve one's "experience" in exchange for financial renumeration (i.e. bribes) is certainly much greater in Bahamas than US. It's also far from certain that Bahamas, on its own, could prosecute and convict SBF.
