He's still in deep trouble.  Extradition delays are common, look at Julian Assange, delaying the inevitable.

Yes and he's standing up for the little people and our rights. Ha Ha...

"Police in New Zealand on Friday raided several homes and businesses linked to the founder of Megaupload.com, a giant file-sharing site shut down by U.S. authorities, and seized guns, millions of dollars, and nearly $5 million in luxury cars, officials said."

"Megaupload founder Kim Schimts’ $30 million mansion was raided on January 20. New Zealand authorities confiscated the tycoon’s collection of luxury cars and data from 135 computers.

Dotcom’s lawyer Paul Davison claims his client’s rights were "subverted'' because the data from the hard drives was taken by the FBI without the defendant’s knowledge."

At least this is entertaining to watch and read about?
