For those wondering if anyone is going to be extradited, they won't be. Under Russian law, a Russian citizen cannot be extradited to another country. As long as these people are Russian citizens they will remain in Russia.

Who was wondering if they are gonna be extradited? Why would they? Unless they are obviously American (which they obviously aren't), I don't see why anyone would expect or even wonder if they would be extradited.

If they extort citizens of some other country, then that other country’s officials will make some attempt to prosecute them in their legal system.

You’re saying this expectation doesn’t match reality?

They're going to get a new job, working for the FSB.
