British national Kai West, 25, known online as IntelBroker, was arrested in France in February 2025 and now faces extradition to the U.S. The unsealed indictment from the Southern District of New York accuses him of orchestrating a transnational cybercrime operation that inflicted over $25 million in damages from 2022 to 2025.
