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
