Sure, they had warrants, but at the end of the day, several websites were shut down, several million dollars worth of personal property was seized, 4 non-American citizens were arrested by the American government in foreign countries, and people who had legitimate, legal content on Megaupload are now up the creek.All of this is on the accusation of copyright infringement - something that SHOULD be a civil matter, not criminal. Even if MU comes out of this cleared of all charges, this case is likely to take a year or more. Can they survive being down for a year?

Since 2001, Schmitz has received media coverage as a founder of a Hong Kong based investing company called Trendax. The company claimed to use artificial intelligence to maximize investment return and Schmitz tried to find investors for a hedge fund managed by the company.[41] According to media reports Schmitz never had a proper license to start the fund.[42] In 2010, Schmitz leased a NZ$30M mansion at Coatesville, near Auckland, owned by Richard and Ruth Bradley, the British founders of Chrisco, and considered the most expensive house in the country. He had an arrangement to buy the mansion when the lease expired,[43] but the New Zealand Government declined his application to buy the land on the basis that he did not meet the "good character" test.[44] Schmitz was granted permanent residency in New Zealand in 2010.[45][8] An investigative piece found Schmitz in Hong Kong business records with the new name "Kim Tim Jim Vestor", allegedly bearing a Finnish passport, and acting as director of several "Mega-" companies, among them Megaupload Ltd. and Megarotic Ltd.[7] According to Megaupload spokesperson B. Lam, Kim is one of many shareholders at Mega and not involved in most day-to-day business decisions.[7]
