But whatever the outcome, he's consigned to serving a life sentence of being in the UK - as that protection only applies while he is on UK-soil. No foreign trips without the fear of a US arrest warrant being served by Interpol.

Is it your assertion that anyone can be arrested / extradited to the US by Interpol, at any time?

However, it's a smart move - by making sure he is prosecuted in the UK, he can't be extradited to another country for the same offence.

I don't understand why he is worried about going to face justice in the US, I mean he is white.

Still the wrong gender though.

The judge in the Libor trial told jurors that Mr Hayes has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, which means he tends to only see the world in black and white

Good. Let's hope that when they sort his cell out he only gets a black and white TV.

I think I have that, only in the office I am described as 'Terse' and make people cry, so if this chap gets away with it I should orchestrate something and get away with it?

If you work in IT, just look around the office.

Probably a double digit percentage of those around you will likely be on the fringes of the HFA (High Functioning Autism) and/or AS (Asperger's Syndrome) spectrum.

Pretty sure a few of the people I work directly with - are well onto the HFA/AS spectrum.

I wouldn't rule myself out being one of them - can't be arsed to be tested - what's the point - there's no treatment/cure - it doesn't affect my quality of life, even if it may define my life.

But I haven't felt the need to hack US military computers or fiddle financial rates.

Well if the poor can't get decent representation or can't afford to go to go to court to get the justice they deserve you could argue that implication is true.

If this chap gets away with it I think you should go and "talk" to him! Be as terse as you like....

You seem to imply that the rich can buy justice.....

I mean how can you say that - when Bernie Ecclestone was done for taking and giving bribes.

He was bought to justice and clearly it worked as he was allowed to go for an out of court settlement.

SO he did not bribe anyone he just bought his way out of trouble,

See that's perfectly fair.

Lucky he stole so much money he can afford good lawyers and good doctors.
