https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/kim-dotcom-loses-high-court-bid-to-block-extradition-to-us/WNUNQGWTXFFVLPR4KNW3KQFKRQ/

 

 

Embattled internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom’s latest attempt to block his extradition to the United States has failed.

 

Dotcom challenged the legality of the Justice Minister’s decision to surrender him to the US through a judicial review heard earlier this year.

 

He also challenged the Police Commissioner’s decision not to lay charges against him in New Zealand, arguing it was politically motivated.

 

In a decision out today, the High Court declined Dotcom’s application for review and found neither of these arguments stood up.

What is he worried about? He could probably buy a pardon from DT for less than the cost of defending himself.

100%! All he needs to do is tell Trump and crew that it was Biden who ordered the arrest (remember, facts don't matter in 2025) and they'll probably give him the top job at the NSA.

The truth is even better. Obama triggers Trump even more than Biden and as far as Hollywood goes that's in California.

Assuming KDC still has US$5M, he can then buy himself citizenship there.

Incredible how, with all his assets frozen back then, and having to ask the judge to release some money for "living" he still has more money than 99% of New Zealanders.
