      Kim Dotcom was cool, he originally founded Megaupload which quickly became one of the biggest (if not the biggest) player in cloud storage at the time. The only downside is lots of people used it to transfer copyrighted shit and Megaupload mostly turned a blind eye to it.

      The US actually got NZ to raid his fucking mansion with the swat team like he was some kind of drug kingpin or some shit, I mean the dude’s just a fat gamer nerd who used to be a hacker once upon a time lol.

      Anyway after this whole saga and Megaupload being shut down, he founded Mega with some people in the idea of walking the strictly legal road with it. It worked really well, but they had some drama or some shit so he left.
