Dotcom ruled eligible for extradition

The District Court has ruled that Kim Dotcom is eligible for extradition.

No doubt he will appeal, and claim all sorts of conspiracies. But this was a matter decided by a judge, after 50 days of hearings. I doubt any person has ever had a longer or more well resourced defence case.

He has 15 days to appeal to the High Court, which can be on a matter of law only.

In a way this is a pity. I’d be quite keen for him to remain in NZ and spend another $5 million on trying to overthrown the Government, to have it all backfire again!
