I was referring to the US SEC and DOJ, they will easily establish jurisdiction against anyone touching US markets in some way, anywhere in the world

They can claim jurisdiction, sure, but they can't execute search warrants or arrest people in Canada. Our agencies are generally happy to let the SEC clean up our messes for us, but the paperwork still slows things down compared.



I see, procedural hurdles to getting enough evidence

I just see the announcements when the US has decided it has enough evidence

They’ll file for extradition in a criminal case, Canada is not a place that would reject that

and even if it was, the US waits until people go on holiday to a place that is more cooperative
