      So let me ask you directly. Am I, as a US Citizen, living in the US, and currently in the US, subject to German Laws? To be clear I understand that extradiction treaty’s exist. But that only applies if I break German Law, while I’m in Germany, not in any other situation.

        If you operate a buisness in Germany and do something with that that’s illegal in the US as well you might actually be but I don’t think that applies for the super rich tbh, no one of them will ever go to jail, the best we can hope for is a beheading in some revolution or by some terrorist group!

          Ok sure. A Government can do whatever it wants in collaboration with another government. regardless of laws, rights, morality, or anything that can be enforced via violence. But I don’t really see that as a “gotcha” or something that you should bring up in normal conversation.

              It’s masturbatory to even entertain the notion that anyone would ever be expedited to the EU for disregarding their laws, especially if that person is operating in the US where it is explicitly legal to lie on the internet.
