He does enough relaunches to make SpaceX jealous.

He lost control of it a long time ago. The board basically got taken over and fired Kim.

The company has suffered from a hostile takeover by a Chinese investor who is wanted in China for fraud. He used a number of straw-men and businesses to accumulate more and more Mega shares. Recently his shares have been seized by the NZ government. Which means the NZ government is in control.

If there's one thing I learned from Eve Online, it's to always keep a controlling amount of shares for yourself so shit like this doesn't happen.

Yeah, but will we get our Lifetime accounts back? The ones we all paid for? I doubt it. :(

If you're still using the email that you used back then. It says in the article on torrent freak that they have the original user database and you'll get your account back

"Megaupload" hasn't existed since 2012.

You've been using Mega as in Mega.nz.co not megaupload.com

Is this all because mega has been taken over from him?
