D.O. Yes I appear to take the side of one of my countrymen being threatened with, what I believe to be unfair extradition! Wouldn't most of you "over the pond" do the same for one of your boys?

No, I, for one, wouldn't. I believe in the correctness of the charging authorities of a friendly country extraditing an accused malefactor. If it were an American accused of the same crime(s) against England, I would be in favor of extradition. I don't see where there is any "unfair extradition" here.

Some facts of what he is accused of or even evidence would go a long way to changing my attitude on this though!

Evidence? He's confessed freely to the hack job, even bragged about it, for goodness sakes! Let alone whatever technical tracing or other means they indulged in to identify him.   Some details will come out later, I'm sure, although I can see where some technical details might be withheld in order not to further inform future potential hackers of the security and/or detection steps that can be taken.
