NEW YORK, July 14 (Reuters) - The former chief executive of Kit Digital Inc was extradited on Thursday from Colombia to face U.S. charges that he engaged in a wide-ranging market manipulation and accounting fraud scheme at the now-bankrupt technology company, prosecutors said.
The extradition of Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, a former Goldman Sachs analyst who achieved brief fame as an internet entrepreneur, came a day after prosecutors announced charges against three other people connected to Kit Digital.
Those newly-announced defendants include Omar Amanat, an investor in media, finance and technology companies, who authorities say participated in fraudulent schemes involving Kit Digital. He pleaded not guilty.

Tuzman was arrested in September in Colombia, where he had been working on a luxury hotel project, at the request of U.S. authorities. Tuzman was then detained in conditions that at times drew his lawyers' complaints.
