UK trader arrested for May 2010 U.S. Stock market flash crash

It looks to me, the US attorney screwed it up. Had they not filed a new claim, they could have proceeded with the hearings (well, once Sarao's lawyer learns to walk again) but now because of this new filings, there are months of delays...

They could have hit him with the new allegations once he is already in the US, or if they lose the extradition request. Filing it now didn't make sense...
 
WOW ! What a huge mistake....and likely because the US Attorney was overconfident....and "full of himself". Ego's in the legal profession are just so much part of the legal process.
This now gives Nav plenty of time to plan an escape.

He can't just escape anywhere, he has to escape to a country with no extradition treaty. Given his name I am inclined to think, US officials are watching India like a hawk however, I have been wrong before giving officials too much credit.

May be not at all a mistake. :D
The art of not being fooled easily by appearances.
 
Well, at least Nav has these options: These countries currently have no extradition treaty with the United States:

Afghanistan, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Armenia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, the Central African Republic, Chad, Mainland China, Comoros, Congo (Kinshasa), Congo (Brazzaville), Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Maldives, Mali, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Niger, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Samoa, São Tomé & Príncipe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu,
Vatican, Vietnam and Yemen.

Heck, he could hang-out with the Pope or with Vladimir Puten or the Somalian pirates.
 
It's not so easy to escape, if he jumps bail from the UK he won't get a new passport from the UK (not sure wether he has another nationality) and it's not like he can enter any country then stay there without the proper documents.
Besides he seems to have an awful lot of money frozen, fa from surehe has much money left. It still doesn't look good for him except if the UK judge refuses extradition.
Also extradition treaty are only part of the problem, residence and immigration iregularities can get one sent back to his home country regardless of the existing treaties, actually recently 2 chinese fugitive have been sent back to China from the US, a little while ago news were mentioning the possible imigration issues to pave the way to their extradition.

Besides can someone explain : if UK is ready to extradite one of his own citizens to the US because of white collar charges how come the US couldn't get Assange extradited from the UK ? Indeed it seems Assange was afraid to be extradited to the US from Sweden in case UK sent him to Sweden, but not afraid from beeing extradited directly from the UK to the US.
