Did they think he was playing solitaire or something? I'm not sure that justice would be served by extraditing this man because I don't believe he would get a fair trial in the USA. However, he must face some sort of punishment for what he did or every geek and nerd in the world is going to claim some kind of mental illness as a precedent to get them off of a court case when they hack someone's computer.

do you think its just him hacking into peoples accounts,
i know someone who has not long been offered a six figure contract to go to america and do the same as he did,
as to everyone claiming to have a mental illness to get away with hacking that wont work beacuse they can be tested to see if they have real problem or not.
he is 46 so he is allowed some freedom most men would only be looking at porn!
