My favorite Kim Dotcom moment was when he was able to connect Ninja (the wife guy streamer) with Drake and Travis Scott, but he was mostly ignored during the stream and eventually just left in the middle of it
My favorite Kim Dotcom moment was when he said, and I quote:
The best way to communicate privately is inside of video games. Gaming software is still largely untouched by spy agencies and almost every game has their own player chat implementation. Now you know why I play a lot of video games 😎
The saddest part is I don't think he's half wrong, either. When everyone says use method X because it's secure, scrutiny goes that way. What kind of politician is sending sensitives messages in world of warcraft guild chats? That said, this is awful advice.
I 100% agree and I find this area of 'spycraft' an interesting topic. Its true that video game chats are a decent way to communicate while hiding in plain site, though this method is not secure by any means; more security through obscurity. Its funny you reference World of Warcraft, as spy agencies compromised wow's chat service over a decade ago . So you're correct, Kim isn't half wrong in that agencies aren't looking at EVERY game, though he's full of shit when he says "now you know why I play a lot of video games." He just wants to come off as being a bad ass OpErAtOr because he's a manchild with CoD brain.
I don't think I've heard anything about him since his mansion was raided. I mostly just remember him looking like a giant baby, driving boring Mercedes far too fast, and making some of the world's worst techno music.
But he funded Mega, which is far cooler than anything Musk has ever funded, so on the sliding scale of rich people Dotcom gets the opportunity to be reeducated instead of going straight to the wall.
Wikipedia lists Kim as a founder, and I specifically remember him being the hype man behind Mega when it launched. Mega's entire shtick was being a better version of Megaupload, and was created by almost all of the same people.

Mega was cool because back in the day you'd get 50GB for free (it's 20GB now) and it's actually not bad.
He made MegaUpload and didn't have anything to do with Mega (allegedly anyway) because he got arrested and his assets seized.
Mega is kind of a spiritual successor, not so much a direct one.

You're probably right then. It's been many years since I've looked into it.
don't forget the the megaupload mega song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0Wvn-9BXVc
