How is it possible that the article doesn't mention what they were convicted of? It says it was fraud, but what fraud?

The deals will allow the coders to serve these significantly lighter sentences than expected in New Zealand rather than being extradited to the United States

Honestly the location is probably more relevant than the time. Nobody wants to go to a US for-profit prison, where torture and rape are commonplace (both by inmates and guards)
