If he goes to jail I bet the US government would have a job or two for him to do. I bet you will see him working with the government throughout his life, despite serving a prison sentence. |
It is considered the "Biggest military hacking job in the history of the world."
The way he's been saying he did it never really seems to jive... even with his own accounts. He said it took him 2 years... yet he used a simple pearl program?
The whole thing largely seems to just be a political stunt because some people in your country are upset about the extradition treaty... with people like Scifiboy even being so misinformed to think that the UK can't extradite people.
Truth is it's only "lopsided" because of the US consitution. The US has much stricter lwas for the government charging people with crimes.
So while it's lopsided in principle it isn't lopsided in practice. We don't need the same kind of proof to extradite people from the UK however if we want to even hold them in jail... we need that same kind of proof. So if we don't have the same kind of proof... all we could do was hold them for 24 hours before they flew right back to the UK.
It's a silly controversy.
