I'm not a legal expert. Not even close. This week it was announced that Changpeng Zhao (CZ) would have to serve a 4 month prison sentence along with a fine for his "crimes". CZ is a Canadian and UAE citizen, but not a US citizen. How does this work in legal terms? Is it just that Canada and UAE are US lap dogs and turn over their citizens?
My guess is this is international law which I understand as a history of legal cases that have been decided over the years to determine how states interact with each other. I've learned from reading about international law that since there isn't a world super government that has legal authority over all of the states of the world that they all work together to figure these things out on a case by case basis. This comes up when legal experts talk about anarchism and how the legal system could work without the state. Each sovereign individual would represent themselves in a similar way that sovereign states do today. Law predates the state. It does not come out of the state.
@siggy47, I'd be curious if you could pipe in here and let me know if I'm getting this right on CZ.
