Oh this will be fun to watch if you know the history of Kim Schmitz aka Kimble aka Kim Dotcom [1]. He has quite a talent to get into the spotlight if he needs too and it looks like that he is able to legally re-appear in public again.

But i would love to know how a trickster like him got this video together. Maybe he is running out of money again and needs some publicity.

I still can remember when he was a celebrity here. I never felt sorry for the people he ripped of, it was so obvious. I always wondered about his secrecy, he seemed to be someone who needs the spotlight.

It's quite impressive what he pulled off with Megaupload, it is a competitive market and his infrastructure has to be quite big. When you look at the numbers of MU, i don't think he is short of money.

If you, like me, are wondering where he got a name like "Kim Dotcom", he apparently just calls himself that, according to this [1] reference on the Wikipedia page.
