I think you have confused the grounds for extradition. It can generally happen when the act is a crime both where extradited from and where extradited to.<p>Blasphemy is not criminal in the US, so let&#x27;s not worry about that until you travel to Turkey or EU countries where &quot;hate laws&quot; apply.<p>Money laundering, fraud etc. on the other hand are illegal both in New Zealand and the US, so extradition grounds are there.<p>The fact that Kim Schmitz has never been to US does not mean that what he&#x27;s done wouldn&#x27;t be relevant to US and US laws wouldn&#x27;t apply.<p>As an example, had Hideki Tojo ever set foot in the US? Not that I know - he might have, but it&#x27;s not relevant. His actions were clearly seen on the US soil, and Americans did execute him by hanging.
