These were Russian citizens. How is it that they can be extradited to the US for breaking US law?
So if in my country I make a program that is legal where I live, but illegal in the US then the US can come and steal me away?
That’s more than a little scary.

If you travel somewhere that has an extradition arrangement with a 3rd country and that country makes an extradition request for you, you could be extradited. In some cases you can be extradited from your home country if they have such an arrangement although some countries have a policy where they won’t extradite their own citizens (eg I think Russia does this) so if they had stayed home they might not have been extradited. This looks like a decent starting point https://www.arnoldporter.com/en/perspectives/advisories/2020/11/international-extradition-a-guide https://www.arnoldporter.com/en/perspectives/advisories/2020...
