The so-called 'Hollywood Con Queen,' Hargobind Tahilramani, has lost his bid to stop extradition to the U.S., where he faces serious charges.
Tahilramani, accused of impersonating female film executives to defraud hundreds, argued that U.S. prison conditions would breach his rights due to mental health issues.
Despite his lawyer's appeal, citing risks in U.S. detention, a UK judge upheld the extradition decision, allowing the trial to proceed in California.
