In a letter filed on Thursday in Brooklyn federal court, U.S. prosecutors asked a judge to order Ng's surrender to the U.S. Marshals Service by Friday so he could be turned over to Malaysian law enforcement, who would transport him to their country.
Ng would be required upon returning to the United States to begin his prison term. His lawyers agreed to the proposed schedule, the letter said.
Lawyers for Ng did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Ng's surrender date had been delayed from Sept. 6, after U.S. prosecutors said they needed more time to communicate with Kuala Lumpur about first letting him stand trial there.
A day earlier, Singapore's central bank banned Ng, also known as Ng Chong Hwa, for life, saying his "severe misconduct" made it "contrary to public interest to allow him to carry on business as a representative."
The case stemmed from about $6.5 billion in bonds that Goldman helped 1MDB sell in 2012 and 2013.
U.S. prosecutors said officials, bankers and their associates embezzled about $4.5 billion of that sum.
Ng is a Malaysian national and Goldman's former head of investment banking in Malaysia.
U.S. District Judge Margo Brodie sentenced Ng in March, 11 months after jurors found him guilty of helping former Goldman boss Tim Leissner embezzle money from 1MDB, launder the proceeds, and bribe government officials to win business.
Leissner's much-delayed sentencing is now scheduled for March 19, 2024. Jho Low, a Malaysian financier and the scheme's suspected mastermind, was also indicted but remains at large.
Goldman settled with authorities in October 2020, agreeing to pay $2.9 billion and having its Malaysian unit plead guilty to a corruption charge.
Ng had been arrested in Malaysia in November 2018, and agreed to be extradited to the United States.
