Kim Dotcom, the internet entrepreneur fighting deportation from New Zealand to the United States on charges relating to his file-sharing website Megaupload, has suffered a “serious stroke”, a post on his X account said Monday.
“I have the best health professionals helping me to make a recovery. I will be back as soon as I can. Please be patient and pray for my family and I,” the post said.
Dotcom’s lawyer, Ira Rothken, confirmed to The Associated Press that the contents of the statement were accurate. Rothken would not say whether Dotcom or someone else wrote the post and did not provide further details.

Is he trying to pull the ‘Mcafee heart attack’ to avoid extradition
I would suffer a stroke and more, too, if my country wanted to deport my ass to a third world country like the USA.
The legal process in USA is not trustworthy, it’s been shown time and again that USA punish people with extreme sentences to make an example of them. USA even tried to kidnap Kim Dotcom bypassing normal New Zealand procedure.
I have no particular sympathies for Kim Dotcom, but the way USA behaves in cases of “national interest” is scary.
Never forget Aaron Swartz! Who was driven to suicide, for copying data he had legal access to.Another great example - Edward Snowden.
Does anyone really believe that the USA will ever…ever give him a fair trial for what he did? The guy was smart to flee the country. Ah yes, let’s give a fair trial to a guy that just jerked the curtain back to prove that yes, Americans are being spied on by the government. That’ll go nicely! /s
Never forget Aaron Swartz
And judicial murderer Carmen Ortiz.
Didn’t he tried to fake his death once?
I might start to truly believe in karma.
Oh come on. There are definitely some people that ruined many lives and - from a certain point of view - would deserve death, but he is not one of them.
