    Judging by the fact that KDC is offering a bounty for anyone who can cook up some evidence to get him off, I'd say he has a pretty strong case to answer and should be on the first states-bound flight out of here.

    Vague references are made to his “criminal” past. His first arrest in 1994 as a teenage hacker resulted in a suspended sentence and the judge referring to his actions as “youthful foolishness”. His next conviction in 2003 was for “insider trading” because he bought shares in a bankrupt company and then said he was investing some money in it so its shares jumped and he sold out at a profit. Again he received a suspended sentence. Insider trading only became a crime in Germany in 1995 and Dotcom said he wasn’t aware what he had done was a crime.

    His real “crime” as far as the Hollywood moguls are concerned is for doing something he hasn’t yet been convicted of any crime for – establishing Megaupload Ltd.
    Two suspended sentences.........one for hacking as a teenager, one for "investing" in a company and selling shares when they went up - just what most politicians seem to do these days - particularly in the US and UK.......

    Always a key indicator that someone's relationship with reality is somewhat distant.
    Yours?

    That's very clever, bringing a "military" topic into my post which referred to an economic proposal from the Lunatic Fringe party.

    What a joke. It's arrogant wankers like him that really piss the people off. Why doesn't he just accept the slap over the back of the hand with a the wet lettuce leaf that he has been handed and just go and do the community service?....it'd be the only 100 hours REAL work the prick has ever done and would save the tax payer a small fortune in legal fees.

    Will laugh if the Court of Appeal increase his sentence for wasting their time.

    I don't know what grounds he plans to appeal on. He claims he has "new evidence", but the Court of Appeals won't hear new evidence, only arguments of law.

    I reckon he will challenge on the basis of some docs regarding Krim Dot Con or info challenging his and others credibility as witnesses (despite judge ruling they were credible).

    I overheard a comment that Banks was simply subject to a biased vindictive judge that didn't like him ... that will do it every time I suppose!

    Allways a gamble where people politics and history are involved.

    Yeh very easy to claim that when it doesn't go his way. The fact stands that Banks choose a judge-alone trial, rather than a jury of his peers. Why was he so dumb? Arguably he hedged his bets thinking that he would get off easier than if he had a jury trial.
