If this is the same guy I'm thinking about, way back when, he was running a pirate site running all over the world avoiding justice. he was eventually cornered and arrested. he would post pictures of himself on yachts on island coves with beautiful women sitting on his lap of lard. He would speak of inventing fantastical inventions and money was pouring in and all you had to do to get in on this deal was, are you ready?.....send him money.

It might not be the same guy, but his name was Kim and he was fat. I think it's the same guy. He must have gotten some sort of deal to be out of prison. I thought he would have gotten 30 years or more.

Same guy. Kim Schmitz changed his name to Kim Dotcom. hacker/self-promoter

He remains obsessed with the US action taken against his companies.

Your memory is faulty.

Kim Dotcom was and may still have a business interest in a file sharing website. The US motion picture and music industries have problems with that kind of thing and arranged for a raid on his home a few years ago. Hillary Clinton herself apparently signed a warrant to arrest him, although he is not a US resident.

His case has been fought in the courts in New Zealand for a long time, in the last round the US was making headway on extradition.

Funny how the State Department, the FBI, and others have plenty of time to chase after copyright violators, but not enough time or money to beef up security at the embassy in Libya, or chase after Islamic terrorists, or follow up on Russian reports that the Tsarnaev brothers were up to no good. That tells you how important Hollywood is to the Democratic party.
