This is very unfortunate. There is a tremendous amount of copper in these data centers, thieves would be able to steal so much copper from data center job sites. It's frightening to think about it

Why there's so much copper they can make 1.3 million dollars from it and then go to a country that won't excommunicate them.

I think the word you were looking for is extradite, which is sending someone home/to the country where crime was committed, to face their justice system.

Excommunication is kicking someone out of a religion/the church, specifically christian afaik, though not all use that word :)
