    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.

    Still the wrong gender though.

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

    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.

    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.
