What to expect in my case next:
I hear that my co-defendants in the Megaupload case have recently been released after 10 months in what US prisoners would consider a New Zealand Wellness Retreat. They were originally charged with 186 years by the US DOJ for the so called ‘Mega conspiracy” and got off with a 99.5% discount in exchange for false confessions. Obviously they just wanted to move on with their lives after 10 years on bail.
The US Govt concocted a fictitious criminal conspiracy that has no basis in US law according to many copyright experts. A novel, unlawful and corrupt conception created by Joe Biden’s former lawyer and former copyright lobbyist Neil MacBride who was given the job of US DOJ prosecutor by Biden for the purpose of delivering a global copyright victory for their Hollywood donors by destroying our Hong Kong based business Megaupload with 180 million global users.
MacBride personally visited the White House to update Biden’s chief of staff about how he was going to destroy Megaupload. That happened a week before Biden met with the major Hollywood studio executives at the White House to discuss their support for the Democrats. We know this from the publicly available White House visitor logs. Read this if you are interested in the corruption behind the Megaupload case: http://Kim.com/whitepaper.pdf
This non-existent first-time crime of being criminally liable for the actions of users (secondary copyright infringement) got the New Zealand Govt so excited that they raided my home for the US Govt with 72 cops, some arriving in 2 helicopters meters from our main entrance. Included in the operation was New Zealand’s anti-terror unit with silenced machine guns and attack dogs. Fortunately my security cameras captured the most embarrassing Police operation in New Zealand history: https://youtu.be/mmObwguVmEI?feature=shared
Fast forward over a decade later it turns out the US Judge who was handpicked by the DOJ and ordered the destruction of Megaupload ex parte (without a hearing) was a long term Disney lawyer before becoming a Judge and an active Disney shareholder while presiding over the Megaupload case. A clear conflict of interest that my legal team uncovered. Judge Liam O’Grady had to recuse himself from the case: https://wsj.com/articles/federal-judge-replaced-in-big-criminal-copyright-case-11652974473?page=1
That was a bit of a setback for the US Govt because everything this Judge had done in my case was now tainted and this would have had an impact on the decision by the New Zealand Minister of Justice to extradite me or not. This decision has been pending for over 3 years.
My legal team now knows that the minister of the former Labour Govt hired a US law firm to get an independent opinion about how many years I would spend in a US prison if convicted for a fictitious crime that isn’t even a crime under New Zealand law. The answer was 30+ years. A life sentence. I would die in prison because users (not me) uploaded movies to my website.
It was clear that the Labour Govt was trending towards a decision to end this madness and to stop my extradition. When the US Govt got wind of that that they made an unprecedented offer to my co-defendants. They went from 186 years in jail (as charged) to 10 months, a 99.5% discount, no need for extradition, just a few month in a fenced New Zealand Wellness Retreat. Tell us what we want and you’re free in just a few months.
Of course they took the deal and I don’t blame them after a decade of torture in New Zealand. The US DOJ achieved what they wanted. It would have been a bad look for the Labour Govt not to extradite me given the ‘confessions’ by my former partners. Labour simply made no decision in my case and handed the matter over to the National Govt which is now back in power. They will no doubt continue in complicity with their US masters.
The optics of all of this are extremely bad and embarrassing for New Zealand. My family has been through 12 years of hell in a political case that was designed to secure Hollywood donations for the Democrats.
