Jason Cardiff has disobeyed court orders instructing him to return to the US by January 19th.

In the lead up to Cardiff’s potential fugitive status, the DOJ executed a previously filed extradition warrant.

For context, Cardiff was
arrested on fraud charges pertaining to Redwood Scientific Technologies
in November 2023.

Cardiff is also the owner of
RengaLife
, an short-lived MLM company that marketed Redwood’s products, hence BehindMLM’s interest in proceedings.

Back in July 2024 Cardiff was given permission to travel to Ireland to visit his wife, who then had purportedly recently suffered a heart attack.

After landing in Ireland Cardiff promptly developed “unexpected serious health problems” of his own, facilitating an extended stay in Ireland.

As the months dragged on Cardiff continued to come up with new excuses related to his claimed health problems. In December 2024 Cardiff’s scheduled trial was
delayed to July 2025
.

In continuing his trial, the court signalled it had had enough of Cardiff’s games. On December 20th Cardiff was ordered back to the US by January 19th and, “absent extenuating circumstances”, warned the court was “unlikely to grant future requests to travel or extend travel.”

After spending the holiday season with his family in Ireland, Cardiff set about coming up with what he no doubt hoped were “extenuating circumstances”.

On January 14th Cardiff filed yet another motion requesting another travel extension;

Mr. Cardiff requests the Court to grant his Ex Parte Application for an Order Extending International Travel and Returning his Passport:

(a) extending his travel to Ireland from on or about January 19, 2025 for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days returning on or about May 19, 2025; and that

(b) Defendant provide the Court with an updated status on his physicians diagnostic testing and treatment status on a monthly basis.

Defendant recognizes that the Court may be reluctant to allow an extended stay for treatment, but respectfully submits that the Court must balance the very real risk that flying may result in serious injury and possible death if Mr. Cardiff must return to the United States before he is treated sufficiently for his current medical condition.

The court denied Cardiff’s travel extension motion on January 15th.

On January 16th Cardiff filed yet another motion requesting another travel extension;

Mr. Cardiff’s physicians have determined, through diagnostic testing, that there he has serious medical problems and opine that he is currently unfit to travel and recommended a 3-4 month treatment plan.

If untreated, the physicians conclude that he will face more serious health consequences if forced to travel before he receives adequate treatment. This evidence is unrebutted.

Somewhat tellingly, Cardiff opposed his medical records being made available to the DOJ for further investigation.

The court denied Cardiff’s second travel extension motion on January 17th.
