Are there any examples in history of the US extraditing someone with no UK ties to the UK?

If you commit a crime in the UK then I would expect extradition to be a genuine risk.

It's a connected world, so online activities are probably pretty grey-areas. If you defraud someone (for example) but they're in another country, where did the crime happen?
