"A NASA astronaut has been accused of committing the first crime in outer space after her estranged wife alleged she stole her identity and accessed her bank account without permission during a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station.

Former Air Force intelligence officer Summer Worden, from Kansas, has been involved in a bitter divorce with astronaut Anne McClain since 2018 but the battle heated up after Worden filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and NASA’s Office of Inspector General accusing her wife of assuming her identity and gaining improper access to her private financial records while orbiting the earth, the New York Times reported."

Where is Orson Wells?

fltsfshr

 

She should have stayed in outer space. Hard to get arrested out there.

 

no court has jurisdiction in space, lol

 

Interesting.

 

but the crime didn't actually occur in outer space, the banks were ground based. computer crimes dontcha know.

 

Does the U.S. have an extradition treaty with the ISS? Probably doesn't matter. Those who go up must come down.

 

I believe that there was an agreement years ago that the country of residency would have the duty to prosecute the individual unless one of the offended country objects.
