Kim Dotcom:"We've hit the jackpot!" (Indication of a FBI double-cross uncovered in cort docs)
A fresh legal bid to throw out the case against Kim Dotcom in the United States is being made after claims of an FBI double-cross.
Evidence has emerged showing the Department of Homeland Security served a search warrant on Mr Dotcom's file-sharing company Megaupload in 2010 which he claims forced it to preserve pirated movies found in an unrelated piracy investigation.
--snip--
"Then the FBI used the fact the files were still in the account of the ... user to get the warrant to seize our own domains. This is outrageous."
He said the revelation was the first insight into the FBI's case against Megaupload and it showed bad faith on the part of the US Government. "Immediately we hit the jackpot - the first little piece of paper is this super-jackpot."
