Karim Baratov, the 22-year-old charged in connection with an American probe into a Yahoo hacking operation, has waived an extradition hearing and will soon head to the U.S. in the custody of U.S. marshals. "We're anxious to get him down there," he said prior to the appearance in Hamilton court Friday. "The court order is already in place to have the marshals come up to pick up Karim." The decision to waive the extradition hearing speeds up his opportunity to address the charges. In court, Baratov smiled as he talked quietly with DiCarlo.
