🧵Megaupload Update 🧵

“There is no conspiracy. You did nothing wrong. All the bad optics are because of Mathias and I. It takes 3 for a conspiracy.” — Bram

“That‘ s right. There is no conspiracy.” — Mathias

“But it‘ s true.” — Bram

After we received the bundle of US evidence in the Megaupload case I confronted my co-defendants about their unacceptable communications and rogue actions while they were in charge of running our websites (still never enough to justify a criminal prosecution). I was shocked and recorded our conversations.

Afterwards I informed Bram and Mathias that I recorded them. We parted ways eventually. I trusted them with running Megaupload in accordance to the legal advise that we had received and they let me down. Now they try to blame me in exchange for lenient sentences. Why am I telling you this? I don‘ t need to worry about false confessions.

The fact that Bram and Mathias are innocent was confirmed by a single sentence their lawyer said in the Auckland High Court yesterday.

>They had no idea they would face criminal prosecution.<

That‘ s the truth. Nobody at Megaupload thought we could be criminally liable for user activity.

US prosecutors know this but seemingly withheld a mountain of exculpatory evidence from New Zealand authorities. Like the Skype call transcript they have where I reminded Mathias to always delete repeat infringers and ensure swift takedowns of reported links.

And taking down ’links’ opposed to underlying ’files’ was all that was legally required. The prosecution knows this from complaints US copyright holders made to US lawmakers about the unfairness of the law in that regard. The DOJ just keeps ignoring it like it never happened.

They keep lying about 90% of Megaupload being infringements when the only 2 servers they analyzed were our ’caching servers’ that were only serving the files with the highest download demand.

Don‘ t be fooled by the theatrics of NZ prosecutors yesterday trying to please their “international partners” by abusing my innocent co-defendants and repeating the same lies my legal team had already debunked in Court many times. Bram and Mathias simply had no more fight in them and gave up after a decade of torture through US lawfare.

When I saw the indictments I knew Bram would switch sides. He‘ s just that kind of guy. That‘ s why I recorded our conversations. I couldn‘ t care less about Bram. Mathias on the other hand was always like a brother to me. I miss him. I‘ m disappointed but I understand. He‘ s forgiven.

The good news? I‘ m battle hardened and I‘ m passionate about not giving an inch to corrupt US Govt bullies and their vassal enforcers at Crown Law in New Zealand. The little fireworks show that the prosecution put on yesterday means nothing. It’s a PR stunt. Bram and Mathias will make terrible witnesses for the US Govt. The fight goes on. Destiny is all.
