RE: Pro Bono Legal Opinion for Victims of Steem HF23 & Bittrex

in #hf234 years ago

Respect to the lawyer for your pro bono service here. Sun may well be found guilty of this alleged crime in Texas, where Steemit is domiciled, but Sun may be in Honk Kong or wherever, for all we know, so how do we get him to stand trial? If it comes to that. Extradition may not work.

Sort:  

If law enforcement in Texas brings charges then Steemit Inc can't flee and extradition of Justin Sun to the US is possible from most countries.

But it is not just US law that has been broken and the victims are around the world.

Even China has laws against theft.

Unless China actively protects him: see Ross Ulbricht.

Thanks for your insight here. Ross of the banned Silk Road website, apparently still in jail.
Extradition sounds good - in this case.
