Dotcom tweeted about Thursday’s convictions, saying the 2 men’s light sentences got here off easy as they blame him, adding that they “can be terrible witnesses for the US government.”
Megaupload, which was once a file-sharing site, has been defunct for greater than 10 years because the U.S. Department of Justice seized its assets and charged several executives, including Kim Dotcom, with a variety of criminal charges including racketeering, money laundering and conspiracy to commit various crimes.
In December 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice released 191 pages of evidence against Dotcom and Megaupload, and its investigation found that the location had earned over $175 million in membership and ad revenue.
