How is this particular instance "corruption". The guy violated US laws which Russia do not "harmonize". This is similar to a US-based person who is attacking Putin in the media. It's illegal in Russia, but would that make the US extradite him?

Thievery is illegal in Russia too.
But the theft is happening outside of Russia, so a Russian court could not pursue.
What would happen if you stole $1bn in Russia and escaped to the US?
You'd make a federated, censorship-resilient sometimes-encrypted chat app.
