The coverage on The Register seems to have dropped off for Herr Bunter's extradition trial in NZ. Could it be that despite his 'technical acumen', he chose not to encrypt his communications, or chose an instant messaging tool outside the jurisdiction of the US. Or could it be the plain admission on IM by himself that what he was doing was illegal and potentially actionable?

Here's hoping this fat f**ker gets extradited soon and stops bogarting our fine antipodean oxygen.
