Kim Dotcom founded Megaupload, which the U.S. Department of Justice charged on January 19, 2012, alleging an international criminal copyright enterprise with more than $175 million in criminal proceeds and more than $500 million in harm to copyright owners. A New Zealand court has since rejected his latest bid to halt deportation to the United States to face charges of copyright infringement, money laundering, and racketeering. Kim Dotcom has been free on bail in New Zealand since February 2012, and after other former Megaupload business partners pleaded guilty in New Zealand in 2023, he remained the only original defendant whose legal fate was unresolved. In November 2024, his account reported that he had suffered a serious stroke, a statement his U.S.-based lawyer confirmed as accurate.
Kim Dotcom also founded MEGA, a cloud storage service, and founded K.im, described in 2019 as a digital publishing platform aiming to pay creators in cryptocurrency. He was formerly affiliated with Bitcache, a Bitcoin micropayment project, which was placed in liquidation in 2023, and was formerly affiliated with Bitfinex Token Sales. A planned cryptocurrency sale was canceled in November 2019 due to regulatory uncertainty. Kim Dotcom's account has published 41,482 posts and has 1,724,467 followers as of July 2026.
