Orin Kerr’s analysis suggests that the charges against him were fairly aggressive and may have strained the language of the laws themselves, it doesn’t appear to be straightforward. Additionally, I imagine a lawyer could well argue that the venue itself was inappropriate, the charges do not at all specify why the district they were filed in had jurisdiction to try his alleged crimes. I’m not familiar with this case, but prosecutors stacking every applicable crime they can to stretch the resources of the defendants seems to be standard operating procedure. This could well be the best outcome his attorney was able to guarantee with the resources he was able to spend on this case, but Orin Kerr raised a lot of questions that a more resources defendant may have wanted to take to trial. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/08/03/the-kronos-indictment-it-a-crime-to-create-and-sell-malware/?utm_term=.501156d06086 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...
