Mega-man: The fast, fabulous, fraudulent life of Megaupload's Kim Dotcom

[Freamon]

Very amusing article on the antics of the soon-to-be-jailed master of self parody Kim Schmitz:

The influx of cash began to fuel Schmitz's fantasy fulfillment engine, funding his love of fast cars and outrageous antics. He promoted his new bad-boy rich hacker genius image through a bizarre Flash movie called Kimble, Special Agent, in which his cartoon alter-ego drives a "Megacar" and then a "Megaboat" before breaking into Bill Gates' compound and riddling the wall behind Gates with a machine gun (spelling out "Linux" with bullet holes). The cartoon was the first public demonstration of Schmitz's obsession with all things Mega.

he looks like a character who enjoys his life; of course those that envy his life style have to pursue and hunt him down in the name of profit. Sounds familiar to anyone ? just queue up, wait your turn, take your lumps, don't try and do
anything different, follow like sheep and live a life of fear, uncertainty and angst serving your paymasters - that's exactly how they want you to be.

Good read that.

The New Years Eve firework display over Auckland harbour that he paid for put the official ones to shame.

But he is now sitting in a New Zealand prison despite not being convicted or even charged with breaking the law in this country. I'm not sure that I like the idea of that.

He is in detention pending extradiction hearing - reasonable decision given his past criminal conviction and amount of dosh he still has.

Perhaps he should try to fake autism and on that basis fight extradiction? Oh wait that only works in England...
