After July 2015 when NZ government seized Kim Dotcom's shares in the company.

It's worth noting that Kim Dotcom no longer has any control of the site and has warned others publicly not to trust those that do.

And he doesn't want you to google for "kimble" too much. You may stumble upon his fucked up history in the german scene.

His name was Kim Kimble originally?? wow, that's some messed up parents.

[-] sdwtiutmvurtnn | 1 points | May 17 2017 17:29:18

Kim Schmitz IIRC. Kimble was just a nick.

O man that was so embarrassing. Everyone here thought it was dumb and in the end the charges were dropped.
