If you read other sources on the story of this guy, most seem to make him seem like a scam. But since I can’t judge what is “fake news” and not, all I can say if fuck this article for making it seem like Ecuador is making a stand against the US for some kind of freedom. Being from Ecuador, I can realize that this is just a political move from Moreno. He fucked over Assange because Wikileaks started revealing the dubious dealings of his family. But now he wants to seem anti-US like his predecessor Correa did by denying the extradition of some small insignificant player line Ceglia. This article makes Moreno seem like a brave leader taking a stand against the US. He is a tool trying to make himself look big after escaping any Wikileaks accusations. Fuck him and Ceglia
The reaction from the US seems a little outsized too - why is the FBI swarming this guy and US bothering to attempt to expedite for something that’s basically a petty fraud attempt?
He fabricated evidence in a lawsuit over the ownership of a multi-billion dollar company. I am not surprised the feds took interest.
