Yesterday Kim Dotcom walked from court free for the moment as the prosecutors bid to revoke his bail failed.
Quote:
Kim Dotcom has successfully fought off an attempt by the US government to have him remanded in custody after a New Zealand court ruled he had not broken bail conditions and posed no flight risk.
Dotcom, the founder of the file-sharing site Megaupload, has been on bail since February 2012 while fighting an attempt by US authorities to extradite him over copyright infringement, money laundering and racketeering charges.
Auckland district court rejected claims from the US government that Dotcom, a German national with permanent New Zealand resident status, had stockpiled a large amount of money before an attempt to flee the country.
