No
Active or passive extraterritoriality is not provided in the laws of the Bahamas. Universal jurisdiction is provided for some crimes (articles 10, 62, 86, 89 and 314 of the Bahamian Criminal Code) but SEC-related crimes are not included. Additionally, Article 9 of the Criminal Code extends Bahamian Courts´ jurisdiction over crimes committed partially outside of the Bahamas.
Extraditable offences are those punishable under Bahamian law and the law of the Commonwealth requesting State with imprisonment for a term of at least two years; offences punishable under Bahamian law and the law of the requesting State with whom the Bahamas has signed a treaty; or any offence as provided in an international Convention to which The Bahamas is a party. There is no provision on the extradition for SEC-related offences but most SEC-related offenses carry greater penalties than two years of imprisonment therefore they could be considered as extraditable offences.
