No. But I live in Switzerland. Anyways, insider trading is just as illegal in Switzerland and using corporate secrets to enrichen yourself is a major crime here. Hence I doubt he will fare any better if they allow him to go back.

As to extradition, the Swiss do not care about your citizenship in that, AFAIK. Polanski is not Swiss and they still refused to hand him over.

I recently found an estimate that about 30% of humans everywhere are totally deranged, delusionals that are willing to do as much violence as needed to stick it to the "others" that are, in their view, the source of all problems. This seems to be about the amount of negative-value individuals that things can go either way. Somehow that does not strike me as an accident.

Even worse: Not doable on the tech side. Carbon capture sounds nice, but even if the human race was totally focused on ramping it up as fast as possible, it would only do something for what comes after 1.8C. Engineering takes time, even when survival depends on it, and this tech is not mature enough to scale it up. Same, incidentally, with all other geoengineering.

I'm a Brit born in London and I live there now and he's full of shit.

My great grandparents were filthy non British culturally inferior immigrants. I also remember what British culture was like in, say the 90s. There are quite large bits of that culture I don't miss. The rampant homophoia. Much more widespread casual racism. The blatant and widespread corruption of the MET. Ram raiding Dixons. We now have a Muslim mayor, son of an immigrant family who attends Pride marches and rides a bike. Well, when he can, but mostly rides in an armored convoy because of all the death threats from people who "don't want their culture to change". Should we put "send death threats to high profile brown people" as an integral part of British culture too?

Culture is changing, it ALWAYS changes. The [insert golden era time] was only golden for a small set of people, and generally pretty shitty for most others.
