SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 3 – A hacker whose
lawyers have said he hacked for Exxon was quietly
presented on Friday, April 3 in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court,
which Inner City Press closely covers.
Amit Forlit had been fighting extradition
from the UK, citing conditions in the Metropolitan
Detention Center in Brooklyn (whose current residents
include Nicholas Maduro and Luigi Mangione).
Forlit opposed any exclusion of time
under the Speedy Trial Act, and Chief Magistrate Judge
Sarah Netburn deferred on the issue to the District Judge
to whom the case has been assigned, Jesse Furman.
