MegaUpload's Kim Dotcom granted $60,000 monthly allowance

[Rox]

Kim Dotcom may be out of jail, but the founder of the now shut down file sharing web site MegaUpload still has to pay some bills. Today, the New Zealand Herald web site reports that the judge in Dotcom's case has ruled he be granted an monthly allowance that totals $60,000 a month. Part of the money comes from interest generated by $10 million of government bonds. The other part comes from one of Dotcom's bank accounts which has $301,758.70; he has also been given access back to one of his cars, a 2011 Mercedes Benz.

This is all damn US Politics. First they caught him,raided his mansion and sealed everything from cars to his bank accounts and now they are paying back.. WTF..?

Us Feds:- you can't win our freedom of sharing files over the internet world,not even with a help of SOPA,SOCA or ACTA crappy bills and filesharing will never be end. It may be stuck for a while but it will be back in flow again.. wait some time.

Kim we are all glad to see you winning the case.. Good Luck Megauploader Founder for your race ahead...
