Have they already wiped all of the Megaupload's HDDs?

No. Apparently the company hosting MU's servers is keeping them up at their own expense

Wouldn't that count as destruction of evidence? Even being the 'authorities', surely that would count as a strike against them.

The feds are trying to have the servers wiped and evidence destroyed. Dotcom has tried to stop this as he believes the evidence on the servers is crucial for his defense.

The government's reaction to server host Carpathia refusing to destroy all the evidence that Dotcom claims exonerates him is to announce that they are considering filing criminal indictments against Carpathia.

That is absolutely disgusting.

Let me get this straight - their logic is 'These guys did something illegal, and you have evidence that they didn't commit the crime in your possession. You need to destroy the evidence, because we're planning on charging you as an accomplice to that same crime.'

...I just don't even know where to begin.
