    Who is Kim Dotcom – that’s a fair question, so before we get stuck into this monster piece on Wired let’s outline a few things about the man who has come to be known as ‘the internet’s most wanted man’.

    Originally of German-Finnish descent Kim is most famous for founding file hosting service Megaupload, a site estimated to have cost the entertainment industry around $500 million through its distribution of content.

This is Kim’s “work bed” and serves as his office…
