When you are the kingpin of Megaupload as well as your name is Kim Dotcom, it is not difficult to assume that it is a very good thought to purchase a great deal of fancy electronics so you are able to look great when posting oneself sitting in your basement hacking away - but when you’ve gone beyond hackerdom, there is something else you will end up purchasing: wonderful vehicles.

That is what Dotcom did, and as his Megaupload and other internet-based ventures grew, he amassed what is been revealed currently as being a king’s ransom worth of luxury vehicles. Amongst these had been Rolls-Royce Phantom, which is available for hire at Rolls Royce Phantom Hire Maserati, and sixteen more in autos dating from 2012 every one of the way back again to 1959.

This month the Megaupload owner and various of his colleagues had been arrested and what his prosecutors phone a $175 million USD throughout the world net piracy operation was shut down indefinitely.

Yesterday he was brought before a brand new Zealand courtroom soon after getting been taken from a grand jury in U.S. District Courtroom in Virginia. It’s also in New Zealand the raids are happening now, his $23 million dollar property, one particular of New Zealand’s most costly, becoming emptied of vehicles, automobiles, and much more cars.

Inside the assortment, for all those of you questioning, had been this kind of wonderful cars like a 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom, which is available for hire at Rolls Royce Phantom Hire, a 1959 Cadillac convertible, plus a lovely Von Dutch Kustom bike.

About a dozen high-end Mercedes AMG designs had been also integrated inside the stash, every of those cars getting its own vanity license plate. The plates integrated this sort of gems as EVIL, Fantastic, GOD, STONED, MAFIA, CEO, HACKER, and needless to say, Guilty.

This should act as being a warning, all you would-be kingpins of piracy on the market, that your automobiles are going to obtain stolen from the police
