#8If racketeering and money laundering is the only grounds on which to extradite him do they have any hope of succeeding or are they just aimlessly trying everything on the list? As far as I know those are made up charges.

#10Not sure how I feel about this. He was certainly a character. I'm not sure why, but what's the deal with all of these guys basically wanting to be comic book villains? (Kim Dotcom, martin shkreli, etc)
