It is when he faces 70 years in Jail, which is a lot longer than most multiple rapists would spend in jail, considering the harm caused, which essentially amounts to forcing the DoD to spend more money tightening up security so that amateur hackers with access to the internet cannot access supposedly secure networks....
Correct me if I’m wrong here, but 70 years is the maximum he could receive under the hacking and espionage laws on the table. I don’t think its the least bit realistic to think he’ll get that many years, or to be against extradition simply because there’s the potential for some hard time.
