Kim Dotcom Suffers Serious Stroke Ahead of Extradition

Kim Dotcom, the internet entrepreneur facing extradition to the United States for charges related to his file-sharing website Megaupload, has suffered a serious stroke. In a recent post on X, Dotcom indicated he is under the care of health professionals and requested prayers for his recovery. His lawyer confirmed that Dotcom will remain hospitalized for an indefinite period, with his prognosis still uncertain. This health setback occurs amidst a prolonged legal battle against extradition, which was recently ordered by New Zealand's Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith. Dotcom has the option to challenge this extradition order through a judicial review, following over a decade of legal disputes since his arrest in 2012. The U.S. government has charged him with serious offenses, including copyright infringement and money laundering, linked to the operations of Megaupload.
