This is true. If I were the UK and I saw what the US considered as evidence in this case, I would strongly consider requiring the US to provide prima facie evidence going forward.
That said, I was more replying to the claims that dual criminality were not required. The UK still needs to find the acts themselves as illegal under UK law. I don't remember it being clearly so. Frankly, the released information I read coming from grand jury didn't even seem illegal to me according to US law.
Your link says the United States (and many other countries) "are not required to provide prima facie evidence in support of their requests for extradition".
