It has to be a crime in both countries.

Sorry for the sarcasm above. Sorry to those that I confused and didn't realize I was being sarcastic. I think it ridiculous that this man can be extradited to the US. On such a tenuous connection. It's not cyberterrorism, it's superpower terrorism.

It's not cyberterrorism either.
And I'm not sure why you think that operating 500+ servers in the US is a "tenuous" connection.

Of course I think he is involved in criminal activities but New Zealand should handle it. Why not, it is a country that is well run with a mature democracy, a legitimate respected legal system and they are the rugby world cup holders.

Although what he did was illegal in NZ, I don't think he committed a crime in NZ. His company is based in Hong Kong, his servers were based in the US, Holland, and, maybe China. I think the only thing he did in NZ is live there.
(I should also point out that extradition proceedings have just begun in NZ; it will probably take several months before a NZ court issues an order actually extraditing him, assuming they do so).
