Given how much of the world's money flows through US banks, New Zealand could give everything back it wants to and still leave Dotcom broke (especially after legal fees) and without a company.

New Zealand is awesome. It is on my list of most desirable countries to live in. But if the US doesn't release the holds they have, I question whether Dotcom will really get anything back. Remember, he is renting his house in NZ. It's not like he has a big chunk of money in a mansion that he can sell.

New Zealand is a global corporate tax haven. They have leverage.

Why would new Zealand even bother? What's in it for them?
