An Australian was extradited to USA despite having never been to USA or profited from piracy. Then was subsequently jailed, eventually finished sentence and became an illegal alien. Then deported back to Australia and banned from visiting USA.
Edit: Corrected deport-back
It's weird that something like this sets a precedent in favor of extraditing people.
Weird legal things like this sometimes prevent me from sleeping at 2 am. If you are unlucky you can just get completely screwed over by the system leaving your life in disarray. Almost as bad as a life changing illness.
Isn't really that hard to see we are living in a different world today than 10 years ago? I may be overstating, but in todays world you can setup a server in Cambodia and given enough traffic/brilliant idea/etc, make million of dollars off of US citizens, or citizens of any other nation laying on the antipodes. IF you have such an idea, it goes beyond being a web-designer, database engineer or smart businessman - you need to also be aware of the laws in the countries you're doing business with, especially if you bringing some serious income and your business idea is not the cleanest one under the sun. Heck, even Amazon itself is fighting US government on the tax issues.
