Megaupload.com and it's founder
Ok, so there was a big bust last week of the filesharing site, and I never used it, but the picture at the top of this article made me laugh. Good luck fighting the courts, Mr. Dotcom.

Yeah, I bet the cops were worried they were going to run into rich gamer with an FPS Russian hobby and like, a rocket launcher or some crazy minigun fed by a backpack full of ammo.
I guess it's possible he was suspicious it wasn't real cops-- like it was some gangsters yelling that they were cops...
does look like he was under some delusions about how untouchable he was. Well, I guess he can afford some lawyers.

If I was that rich and CEO of a business that was knowingly being used for piracy in this super anti-pirate political environment (SOPA, PIPA, ACTA), I would have retired with style in a country with no extradition laws.
