You're 100% correct, and this is why a lot of us Brits DO NOT LIKE what is going on here at the moment. But an important distinction needs to be made here. As much as Starmer and the Met Police want to swing their balls around and imply they have the power to go after all these people abroad, the simple fact of the matter is that it is all TALK. For a US citizen to be extradited to the UK by Starmer and his posse, that person must be found to have committed a crime in both the US and the UK - if a crime has not been committed in the US, that person will not be extradited to the UK. What's absurd here, is that it doesn't seem to work both ways. It was determined here, in the UK, that Lynch had NOT committed any offences and was an innocent man. So why on Earth were the US allowed to extradite him?! That would NOT happen if the roles were reversed. Crazy.

[@Jake-px3ob]

To be able to extradite under international law the crime committed needs to be an offence also in the country of origin at the time to be eligible for extradition.

Sir Jacob, I find it very disappointing it takes a case like this to initiate a change in the law which you and capable like you were aware of. You have the contacts and knowledge to right such wrongs, completely out of the hands of the ordinary man. We have lost a man of incalculable value to the nation and his family which may well not have happened but for this case.

Time to unilaterally to dump the US extradition treaty.

Well spoken Mr. Mogg. RIP Mr.Lynch.

A huge miscarriage of justice and abusive treatment of a brilliant genius of a gentleman and his family who all suffered under this brutal US brutal American criminal justice system.

British state stand up for its citizens, dear god how out of touch is that statement 😂

[@Aquila-sz8pl]

It’s very odd, too odd, that this man and his partner, both innocent died so soon after being acquitted. Looks very much like murder? But will justice ever be served? Best advice is do not deal with Americans, ever.

[@robertwilson123]

Yes, I've had very serious concerns regarding the US system for many years. It extends to crime where vulnerable people are told where there is no evidence against them, you say you done it or you'll get a thirty year jail sentence....or even "we'll ask for a death sentence if you don't say you did it." That has led to perfectly innocent people saying that they committed a crime.

Several things: 1) My sympathy to the family at this difficult time. 2) The events look to be a bit suspicious. I hope that is cleared up transparently and quickly. 3) I remember the deal and thought something was not quite right at the time. 4) Lynch may have over-valued his company but, even if he had, then HP should have known. Quite how an IT company of the size and reputation of HP can be off by several $billion defies belief.

I am glad he spoke up about this!!!

[@DrugHunter-fy6nf]

Caveat emptor. If HP couldnt do proper due diligence it points to their own incompetence, whether the price was inflated or not. Its like the pharmaceutical industry - increase in their share price resultant from the deal and the stock options of directors, greed and FOMO. Your bad, HP.

Agree

Guess who's operating KeirStalin's mouth? Tony B Liar?

Remember Julian.

Very true. It’s a one way street, and we’re facing the wrong way.
