And? Lots of people get their assets frozen. They don't get to make demands as a precondition of submitting to justice.

Asking for special conditions that are never granted can only mean one of two things: either he is utterly ignorant of how law works or he is just trolling for more attention.

I choose to view him as non-ignorant, but since my view is not fawning, apparently I get a massive karma downgrade. I'll live.

Well, actually he has precedent in his favour.

Also, how else do you get to have funds released other than through petition? And he has already submitted to the justice system, otherwise he wouldn't be turning up in court.

I don't disagree with what you said. But the topic was in regard to someone refusing to submit to justice unless their conditions were met. The point is, he must submit to the court before the court can grant his petition.

He hasn't refused, he is fighting extradition in court. How can he have refused to submit to justice if he is taking part in court proceedings? Submitting to justice is not the same as doing whatever you are told, at least not since the establishment of habeas corpus as a standard.
