    Since it’s a Redditor and Redditor information is by default, to be taken with many levels of skepticism. I’m under the impression that this ‘criticism’ are probably in the form of people telling said Redditor that they’re a bullshitter.

    I’ve done a quick search to find an image of this copy and I’m not surprised that I have not found it word for word. The only thing close that I’ve found was a letter he actually did write to Hollywood, back in 2012

    So it’s likely that this Redditor, probably hashed up a made-up tweet image because it’s a common way to stir up bullshit, like any lowlife Redditor would want to do when they’re bored.

    Oh and I ran a Google image search on this image and what came up? The Reddit post itself, go figure.

    Dotcom is now effectively Musk’s hanger-on of a somewhat insane type. He posts a lot of megalomaniac and incoherent right-wing stuff (and I mean incoherent even by right-wing standards), as seen here. He hasn’t had anything to do with MEGA for many years, he’s been in a sort of exile in New Zealand, and frankly he seems as if he’s isolated and mentally deteriorating.

    Very interesting that he points out that a guy is Jewish, does not give good vibes. Ofc most of the things he’s done don’t give me good vibes either.

    Anyway, I can’t remember the last time I’ve used Mega, for anything. None of the cool sites use them, afaik. There’s like a million better sites now, and the best stuff is in Russia, since they barely touch piracy sites. it’s so often in a piracy sites lifecycle for them to start on a normal tld, get banned, move to a weird tld, get banned, then move to a cool foreign countries tld.

      He’s speaking about a previous Prime Minister of NZ. Who’s actually secular, but has some Jewish heritage through a grandmother, but was raised Anglican, but really non religious.

    Kim dotcom is how I imagine John McAfee if he became a billionaire.

    This guy was arrested inside his own safe with a gun. He is a lunatic. He is also obviously trying to cash out somehow, even though since 2015 he himself claims to have no ties with Mega anymore and that it has been compromised.

    Either way, Mega hasn’t been good for piracy for ages, nor is it trust worthy for private data sharing.

      In the linked post he writes

      Full Disclosure: I’m no longer involved with Mega but it operates lawfully like Megaupload did. The fact that Mega is still online after I founded it 13 years ago shows that the case against Megaupload was political, a total Hollywood overreach and the New Zealand Govt should be ashamed for still wanting to extradite me.
