The Taylors’ legal team has been resisting extradition since the father and son were locked up last year. According to the AP, they hired former Trump administration attorney Ty Cobb as an “attempt to get Trump to block the extradition before he left office,” but were unsuccessful. In February, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer denied the bid to put the Taylors extradition on hold.
To get Ghosn out of Japan, Taylor recruited other ex-Special Forces agents, and eventually they figured out that the best way to get a person out of a country undetected was on a private jet, inside of a very big box. They left on a day where the surveillance feed from the security cameras inside Ghosn’s apartment would not be collected, and met at a hotel where the former CEO was allowed to eat lunch.
