He had all his assets seized by police under an illegal arrest order, and he is having to spend millions of dollars fighting trumped up extradition charges for crimes he very much did not commit. He was thrown in prison without the option of bail, and while he was locked up his shithead government let the FBI clone every hard drive of his they could come across. It also turned out that police had (illegally!) tapped his phones weeks before the arrest too. For example in the trial they claimed he wrote to his accomplices on Skype "Eventually a judge will be convinced how evil we are and then we'll be in trouble", when what he actually wrote translates better as "Eventually a judge will be talked into how bad we allegedly are and that will create a mess". Courts also decided to extradite him without allowing an appeal, even though that's grossly illegal.
Read up on the case, it's infuriating examples of miscarriage of justice and New Zealand spinelessness against retarded American demands. Some "sovereign state" it turned out to be.
