Yes, NZ citizens can be extradited to the US.

He is now a NZ resident - this scares me - according to local news sources, "His residency application for New Zealand initially failed the "good character" test, but was approved after he invested $10 million in Government bonds and made a donation to the Christchurch Earthquake Fund"

That makes it look like you can buy your way in here. Glad I didn't make that decision, whoever did must be worried now.
