Megaupload is Swizz based, and it went down.

> Megaupload is Swizz based

No, they were Hong Kong based. Rapidshare (Switzerland/Germany) has already been sued there, and won, so their (current) business model, for the time being, is not accessible for american "shock and awe" justice.

No, I think he was joking because Swizz Beats is/was the CEO of MU.

Elsewhere in the thread, people are saying MU was from Hong Kong.

Where do you see it as Swiss?

It was a bad joke on the fact that a purported owner of Megaupload is the artist "Swizz Beatz".
