The t*****r/defector will be drinking vodka and spilling his wretched guts just so he can get a shower to wash off the stink of being an enemy of the USA. Maybe Puting will take him fishing so they can concoct new lies and fish tales.
The KGB should watch this cretin very carefully, and keep a cell in Siberia ready.

First of all, this:

His life will probably suck big time. Rightly so.

Second, this is another example of the US's short sightedness. (Sadly, there's been plenty of that lately.)

US always rejected Russia's requests to establish an extradition treaty. I guess the thinking was that it's better to always have a way of not having to hand over anyone to Russia. The US administration never really imagined a situation where a US citizen might actually hide in Russia from the US justice system.

In the past, US rejected requests to hand over known Russian (Chechen actually) terrorists, who asked for and received asylum in the US, citing the lack of a treaty, unfair trials, and the possibility of torture. So now, I guess Russia is simply "returning a favor."

It's interesting to see how things play out.
