A SCHOOL dropout is fighting extradition to the US over a £400million computer hack.

Diogo Santos Coelho, 23, faces up to 52 years in jail if found guilty.

He allegedly set up one of the world's largest hacker forums after quitting school at 15 without sitting his GCSEs in Croydon, South London.

The RaidForums website enabled criminals to buy and sell people's personal and financial information using PayPal and cryptocurrency.

More than 10 billion files and £400million were stolen.
