If you were wondering why there has not been any news regarding the July 30th hearing, in US District Court in Guam, of Roman Seleznev, the arrested Russian stolen credit card number hacker, the Court was forced to postpone the hearing, due to Tropical Storm Halong.
Russian media have been focusing on this case, because the defendant was apparently on holiday in the Maldive Islands, and he was reportedly taken into custody by US law enforcement agents, and transported to Guam, the closest United States territory. There was no formal extradition hearing conducted in the Maldives, and Seleznev's Guamanian attorneys are demanding his release forthwith, upon the grounds of serious governmental misconduct.
