It won't have any impact on mega.nz because he hasn't been involved with MEGA for nearly a year now

It wont have any impact on Mega. Mega was victim to a hostile takeover by a Chinese businessman wanted for fraud in China and hiding out in NZ. The controlling shares in Mega were seized by the New Zealand government which is now in control of the site.

New Zealand controls mega.nz? wow, i did not know that.

If this is the case why haven't they shut it down?

[-] Kaiosama | 4 points | Feb 20 2017 23:30:13

Money green.

Or, I suppose whatever color NZ money might be.

Multi-coloured, probably one of the best looking notes I've used.

[-] Specialist007 | 5 points | Feb 21 2017 03:02:11

Surprised they dont have the Kiwi bird on the notes...

[-] Leafshade | 1 points | Feb 21 2017 06:00:45

Australia has some pretty great notes too, and they are inn the process of being upgraded.

[-] ri0t333 | 1 points | Feb 21 2017 09:23:57

Yeah, I'm really liking our new ones. Apparently the $10 and $50 is being released soon.

[-] Leafshade | 1 points | Feb 21 2017 18:10:28

Oh cool, fellow Australian. :)

almighty money

Legally mega is not under the umbrella of the 'megaupload' case. So a new prosecution would have to be brought forward for mega.nz to be shutdown - which is unlikely , due to the lessons learned in the past. The NZ government may be a US / Hollywood pawn, but they've faced some hard questions for their treatment of Dotcom (e.g use of terror squad for civil prosecution arrest, illegal spying of a NZ resident etc). Shutting down mega for no valid legal reason would cause a shitstorm.

Someone should make a movie about Mister DotCom's life, it'd probably be pretty interesting

[-] Aluhut | 14 points | Feb 20 2017 18:09:34

I'm pretty sure he won't like that. Especially his beginning in Germany.

[-] nightimemytime | 10 points | Feb 21 2017 00:52:09

how fucking meta would that be if someone uploaded a copy on here though

[-] Aluhut | 2 points | Feb 21 2017 06:45:29

...and then be sold out by Kim himself through some backdoor he always had withing mega. The full circle ;)

[-] mega_toss | 2 points | Feb 21 2017 04:18:27

He already made a movie about himself in the late '90's, in flash.

[-] jaykhunter | 1 points | Feb 20 2017 18:13:04

Allegations of fraud?
