That doesn’t matter. Charges are in a sealed indictment. I doubt they have anything to do with his publication. He helped Chelsea Manning hack into a US military server. That’s esponge and computer theft. But, it is not known what the charges are because they are sealed.
It does though. As someone who isn’t a US citizen, resident or visitor, he isn’t subject to US laws.
What he is subject to is the laws of the country he was residing in, and any extradition treaties they have with the US. What he allegedly did was a crime there too, which is important as most countries will not extradite if what the subject did wasn’t criminal in both countries, if they were still in the request-recipient country at the time.
No, if he is extradited he answers the charge. If he is in a country that has a prior charge then the respective justice departments work out who has priority. In this case he was already charged in Britan before being indicated in the US with extradition requested
