So the US's Government's tactic is to delay the extradition trial until he's left with no money to defend himself...and then win by default. Is that what they call "justice"?
Does anyone on HN actually read about this case from credible sources or just parrot the biased reporting from Torrentfreak that Dotcom is a hero because he gave you free movies?
Dotcoms laywers agreed to delaying his extradition hearing until next year because it is not possible for it to take place next month due to all of the still outstanding issues related to his mansion raid possibly being illegal. It has nothing at all to do with the DOJ trying to screw him by delaying the trial.
> Dotcom complained about the delay in postings on Twitter today.
“Dirty delay tactics by the U.S.,” he wrote on the social media site. “They destroyed my business. Took all my assets. Time does the rest.”
The NZ prosecutor and DOJ screwed this so badly they'll need at least a year to get the same response. In the meantime, the business is still shut and no one is getting paid.
I guess that's technically true in terms of absolute numbers, but it's fairly meaningless. What did unlimited amounts of printed money do for Zimbabwe?
Snake house. If they (US gov) cannot win, they will delay as much as possible just to warn others: even if we are completely wrong and fucked up, we still can messed up your life for X months or years!!
