Saskatoon man sought for US extradition in school crypto hack

A Saskatoon man, Ryan James Roach, is facing extradition to the United States for allegedly conspiring to install malware, steal login credentials, and mine cryptocurrency from American educational institutions. Roach was ordered into custody in Saskatoon Court of King’s Bench, having reportedly conspired with Ontario resident Mathiew James Stubbing in attacks on three institutions. Despite being ordered to await extradition, Roach was released under certain conditions, and there may be an appeal process. The situation is somewhat contradictory as his custody status is unclear.
