> It fits his personality perfectly to do something like keep all his money in cash

How do you explain this part then:

> Dotcom's bank accounts were frozen, denying him access to 64 bank accounts world-wide



Why is it so odd that an anti authoritarian individual would keep large sums of money in cash and distribute whatever cash he does keep in as many bank accounts as possible?

Can you explain why we should be fixated with how much money he has or how he stores his money wrt the criminal case being prosecuted? If there was something there wouldnt they have revealed it in their accusations years ago?


I’m not interested in arguing for or against him because I don’t care about him or this case.

I was just pointing out the irony in your comment where you just assert that it was perfect in line with is character to have ALL is money in cash while literally the next line says he has 64 bank accounts scattered all over the globe.


I’m just saying that this guy distrusts authority so it’s not surprising that he was caught with a lot of cash or that he has a web of accounts. My larger point is about the fact that these insinuations should be dismissed because it’s reasonable to assume that if there was major wrong doing in his finances (eg drug lord) they would have included the evidence in the extradition request.

Feels like we are being a bit pedantic.


I guess we can wait and see what the outcome of the eventual trial is.
