I think it is likely North Korea could charge him with a number of crimes that may be extraditable, like cyber "terrorism" (the quotes are necessary, right?) The US has extradited at least one Russian hacker [1] P4X is also likely now featured in intelligence summaries in countries with security treaties with North Korea, like China and Russia. Also, it's possible P4X has violated the Logan Act.
