2 make deal, leaving just Kim Dotcom facing US extradition

Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom gestures during an interview at his home in Auckland New Zealand, Dec. 21, 2015. Two men charged by U.S. prosecutors with racketeering for their involvement in the once wildly popular file-sharing website Megaupload said Tuesday, May 10, 2022, that they have reached a deal to avoid extradition to the U.S. and will instead face charges in New Zealand, where they live. Dotcom, who also lives in New Zealand, still faces the possibility of extradition to the U.S. in the long-running case.
