12. and the US determined that it did not meet the terms of the Treaty
first off, the Treaty, signed in 1997. is not retroactive, and the US didn't cite this, which Anderson could use to delay his extradition from the US for years (this would end up at SCOTUS, most likely, Anderson is over 80, he'd be dead by the time this got solved) on a finer point, the request for extradition does not meet the terms of the treaty, even if it is retroactive, since the application did not include the correct information, including the equivalent crime in the US, and sufficient evidence to show a likelihood of conviction, for the equivalent crime under US law.

The government of India doesn't really want this, so it will never happen.
