There are only very few countries which will not extradite you to the US.

Recently they even got a russian hacker from the Maledives, which has no extradition treaty with the US.

Out of my head the list of recent cases was: Cyprus, Maledives, Thailand, UK, Canada, Mexico, Poland, Czech, New Zealand (not clear yet. Police did support the NSA, but law still refuses to extradite Dotcom), and all interpol countries with a few exceptions.

The reverse list is shorter: Germany refuses to extradite the VW managers but who knows what they'll do with hackers. Italy and Spain is risky. Ecuador and Bolivia, who knows? Venezuela probably.

Only Russia and some of its allies should be safe for criminals. China? Probably also according to Snowden. But they'll probably kill you before sending you over, as they have interesting fraud laws.
