Kim Dotcom Offers the DoJ a Deal
Master Moose sends this quote from Stuff.co.nz:
"Kim Dotcom claims the United States criminal case against him is collapsing but he is offering to go there without extradition provided federal authorities unfreeze his millions of dollars. In a now hallmark style, he made the offer on Twitter. 'Hey DOJ, we will go to the US,' he tweeted, 'No need for extradition. We want bail, funds unfrozen for lawyers & living expenses.' In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Dotcom says the department knows it does not have a case. 'If they are forced to provide discovery, then there will be no extradition. That's why they don't want to provide discovery. If they had a case, they would not need to hide what they have.'"
Don't care or know him well enough to call him a douche though.
People who come up with a simple idea and make millions/billions off it are often "hated". Whether it's Facebook, or buying DOS from IBM and selling it back to them at a profit, or hosting a sharing site, if you make it big with an easy thing that anyone could do, they'll hate you because you did it and not them. He's apparently not a douche in person, though he understands the rules and chooses to break them, which pisses off many, to no end.
