So what started as this good faith effort on my part to have a conversation with him,
was successful, but it was not ended by me nor by him.
Our conversations were simply stopped because the police closed in on him and arrested him.
Yeah.
Those are all good questions.
So the way it works is.
The arrest, as I understand it, the arresting authority has to be the local authority, but there was a request by the FBI to both investigate this person and then to proceed with an arrest for the purpose of extradition back to the United States, which is where he faces charges.
So even though
There are people who want to pursue him for crimes committed in the UK.
The charges that he currently faces are US federal charges.
So he would be, he would be extra.
So, you know, he's been in jail for several years now and that is all related to his extradition case back to the US.
About a year ago, a judge,
ruled, a judge in the UK ruled after a couple of years of proceedings, ruled that he should be extradited back to the US.
And in his ruling, he cited Harvey's terrible behavior and his long running scam and a bunch of other stuff.
But basically, he ruled in favor of extradition.
And then Harvey very quickly set about appealing the decision
And that's where it stands now.
So the decision on the appeal has not yet been rendered, but he remains in jail in the U.S.
Sorry, in the U.K., yeah, in the U.K., pending extradition to the U.S.
