- tripletao 9y agoYeah, but extradition treaties generally require "dual criminality", that the offense be a crime in both countries. If your offense wasn't a crime in the USA, then you probably won't get extradited; and if it was, then the USA probably has jurisdiction too (assuming you were physically here when you did it), so the USA can prosecute you itself.
- guitarbill 9y agoThe link to Mr. Love's case, or Mr. Dotcom's ongoing case clearly show being "physically here" didn't seem to factor into those requests.
- tripletao 9y agoFair, and my reply was unclear. I mean that if the act is a crime in both countries, then it's a crime in the USA, so you'd be committing a crime with or without the GDPR.
