Damn, he should have just become a banker and steal billions from taxpayers. Then he'd get a bonus.

Now seriously, that seems way too harsh of a sentence... That alone would be reason not to extradite him.

I know, 60 years in jail for a guy who has a medical condition and that they cant prove did any damage or anything, apparently (according to BBC news channel) if he had been tried here, he would have been given 6 months community service...not to mention of course that the extradition treaty essentialy allows the US to extradite people from the UK, but not vice versa.

That's not true.

Also the "6 months community service" is more or less a lie.  It would be that way only because he didn't break into UK government computers.
