If you are contracted or operate for someone/something in a different country, unless the terms of the contract states otherwise, you are bound that countries laws when operating. Its part of why major companies have branches that deal with whole foreign markets and what not instead of operating from one global location. Its why Holoen has to follow JP standards but IN/CH only really worrie(d)s about Indonesian and China ones (outside of any corpo wide rules like permissions). By all means Cover can take them to court and the courts can ask the States for an extradition, which would most likely be done. To put in perspective Japan and the US have special laws about this regarding each other. As long as certain conditions are met (like no death penalty for the crime, not life imprisonment, imprisonment does not exceed 3 years, ect.) and the evidence is there, it does not go through any government official outside of the judge. And if all that is there they must approve it.
Also, unless the terms of the contracts violate the US constitution or is one of the countries where Free Speech isn't properly protected in court (Like the UK/EU which is why the Amber Heard Johnny Depp case happened earlier this year), the US court system usually will not allow a retrail in the US and will stand next to the decision made by the foreign judge.
But I doubt it will happen, and most likely the dude will just get blacklisted.
