SO if I read the situation correctly

Assange was extradited on one of the weakest charges they could have levied. He was ejected from the embassy probably on pretense of whatever Spanish spying supposedly occurred so that the British could arrest him. He will be held in Virginia, coincidentally the same place Chelsea Manning is being held. Even if this is not a ruse, and he is convicted of the password hacking charge, he only faces 5 years.

One big game, obviously. A movie.
