They were living in New Zealand and NZ does have an extradition treaty with the US.
However, Under NZ extradition law, those arrested will face extradition only if:
i. the conduct as it occurred in the jurisdiction of New Zealand would have been an offence under New Zealand law; and
ii. the offence would have been punishable by 12 months imprisonment or more.
I'm no lawyer but I would doubt that what they have done is an offence under New Zealand law.
There is an article at this url more about the legal issues involved in extradition
