He was south Korean and proud to sign it for bush and said so in multiple interviews he would do it all over again

why not if you can't be held responsible.
Some of my favorite historical examples of startups who had to worry about uncertain rule of law are:
- Aereo[0]: Who tried their very best to follow the law diligently but got slapped down anyways.
- Uber[1]: Who blatantly broke the law so callously that they relied on gaps in the rule of law to enable their business model.
- Kim Dotcom[2]: A German-born citizen who had never set foot inside USA's jurisdiction found himself arrested by the FBI in helicopters storming his home in New Zealand. This emphasized that any founder needs to follow US law, no matter where they are operating.
In each case, it seemed that whoever had more money tended to win, rather than who had the letter of the law on their side.

Doesn't NZ have laws about not having a death penalty, and therefore it is impossible to extradite anyone that has 0.01% chance to get the death penalty?
It will be completely unsurprising that despite a "strongly worded letter" it will continue to happen and there will be no consequences despite the unconstitutionality.
The US Government and the very idea of a rule of law here are hopelessly broken and there is no obvious peaceful path to ever fixing it.
Other problems include:
too many Americans just don't vote or pay attention to politics at all
the 3 branch system of government used in the US never foresaw or planned for a situation in which two of the branches would just simply abdicate their own power
