Yeah, Kim Dotcom is a definite flight risk. I read that they expect extradition alone may take a year to litigate. Then, once finally in US DOJ custody his RICO trial will likely take at least that long.
It's the RICO charge, and lengthy penalties, along with the fact that he was apprehended outside of the US that has most of the other file sharing services running scared.
The Feds don't lose many RICO cases. Kim Dotcom will likely be spending some quality time at Club Fed.
I also just read that a fifth person was arrested in the Netherlands. Two more still at large.
