They're trying to clip his wings for political reasons. He probably wouldn't have come to the attention of AFP etc. if not for all the publicity about his being a former hacker, and the book he allegedly wrote about it, under a pseudonym.
I find that one aspect of Iceland's IMMI a little naive. They claim Iceland is an ideal place for server farms because of the cool climate (never mind the ash) and because they have high-speed undersea trunk lines.

Why does Iceland think its line to Europe is protected and unblockable? Cutting Iceland off would be easy, I think.
