Jurisdiction is complicated, however...
I think that jurisdiction and extradition are being confused in this thread. Jurisdiction over the crime is virtually always where the crime took place, unless, the person(s) involved are in the military armed forces of another country, and sometimes even then.

You have very much correctly discussed the problems of extradition for trial in the country of jurisdiction which are numerous and complicated.

In the case at hand the US has the jurisdiction. The crime was clearly committed in the US, the location of the damaged computers. Even the potential defendant is not disputing US jurisdiction. He is disputing the accuracy of the charges. The question is will the US be able to extradite the admitted perpetrator for a trial. There are many issues concerning extradition and we will see how this plays out.
