One of the men facing extradition to the US for his involvement in the running of controversial file-transfer company MegaUpload is now in America voluntarily, leading to speculation he has done a deal with prosecutors there and will agree to testify against his former colleagues if and when the whole matter gets to court.
While most attention has been given to the legal wranglings of MegaUpload’s founder and frontman Kim Dotcom, seven men in total were accused of copyright crimes when the file-transfer platform was forced offline by the American authorities in 2012.
