I can 'proceed without you', judge tells Julian Assange after courtroom outburst

FBI and extortion

So, I read in this fine article that "Having been threatened with having his child forcibly removed for adoption unless he identified his fellow hackers, single father Monsegur is said to have passed on information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)."

The use alone of such criminal - and dare I say: inhuman - methods should be reason enough to deny the extradition request.Though, mind me, I would love to see Assange being put to trial for his often shady activities.

Re: It's only money...

Yeah... Now that's an argument that is made much too often and much too easily. What about the people who lost the money? What about the businesses they had going? Especially in this case where the scumbags went after small businesses ? Stolen money can mean shattered dreams. And in some cases even shattered lives.

Personally, I root for the Feds every time they go after cybercrime.
