Kim Dotcom: Many Megaupload Users at the US Government
Found on TorrentFreak on Tuesday, 13 March 2012
The cyberlocker is working out a deal with the Department of Justice to allow users to download their personal files. Interestingly enough, Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom reveals that these users include many high-ranking US Government officials.
Over the past weeks Megaupload has been looking into the various options they have to grant users temporary access. Interestingly enough, this quest revealed that many accounts are held by US Government officials.
“Guess what – we found a large number of Mega accounts from US Government officials including the Department of Justice and the US Senate.”
So if the DOJ doesn't agree to this deal lots of officials will get very angry and important data could even be lost forever. If the DOJ agrees however, then it would be some nice proof that there was a considerable legal use for this service.
