Then, you arraign. Then, you spend months building a case and allowing the defense to build theirs. Then you try the case. Then you convict. Would you like me to add a final line: "Dude is convicted of hacking in US: NO CHECK!"? I can, if you think that clears anything up.

Isn't there also a hearing before extradition to determine probable cause? If the US can't provide proof he won't be extradited.

Probable cause isn't the same thing as proof. Proof isn't required for extradition.
