Paul Peters, an Australian investment banker who often travelled between the two countries, was arrested in Kentucky in August.

Peters will not challenge extradition, according to the US Attorney's office.

He is accused of placing the hoax bomb with the aim of extorting money.

Mr Peters has an extradition hearing set for Wednesday afternoon in a federal court in Louisville.

In August, a masked intruder broke into the family home of 18-year-old Madeleine Pulver in the Sydney suburbs and threatened her with a baseball bat.

The suspect told her to be still and placed what appeared to be a collar bomb around her neck, before leaving a ransom note and fleeing.

A bomb squad freed her 10 hours later when they found the device was fake.
