I will try to get to more on this some other time, just to say a couple of more things.

I know a lot about this after watching one of my friends being caught up in this American scam, chose not to fight - and was sentenced to over two years. TWO years is one thing - but career destroyed, friends lost, house lost and family broken. Not only that but if you are UK software exec try working for any company without going to the USA. Want to go to the USA with a rap sheet? Try that.

Here’s the thing - another case you might not have heard too much about - but back in the day Bliar signed into law an extradition exchange with the USA ostensibly around terrorism. The US never signed their half. Which means that the American DOJ has more power to take a UK citizen into custody and extradite the to the US than even the British Police!

Not only that - they don’t even have to tell you why!

Side Note ... The extradition law is used far more to extradite business people than terrorists.

So when you next hear about the poor US software companies having such a hard time with those nasty European Bureaucrats stopping them from selling their shit spy software in Europe - maybe spare a thought for PEOPLE, whose lives are destroyed by a Judicial system that is out of control.

Yes I am riled up.
