> US and India have very enforceable bilateral cybercrime treaties. And it is very well enforced on both sides

Is this documented? If true, I suspect the image of Indian criminals being beyond the reach of the law stems from the spam call problem.

Your link [1] mentions no sign of Indian law enforcement. Instead, “Singapore authorities apprehended Patel at the request of the United States…after Patel flew there from India…charges remain pending for other India-based defendants.”

They aren't beyond the reach of the law, it's just logistically hard. Imagine getting the cops to bother investigating your stolen laptop or something. Now multiply that by an international multi-agency investigation spanning 10,000 miles.

Sure. I am just pushing back on “very well enforced.” It’s not. Not out of malice. But because the problem is hard.
