Police have seized Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom's $4.3 million (£2.75m) home in New Zealand where his pregnant wife and three children have been living since his arrest. The confiscated property in New Zealand, despite it's large cost, was not the Internet millionaire's main home. That was a $25 million (£15.75m) complex, the place he was living in when arrested but has not been able to buy outright as he was refused by the Overseas Investment Office for not meeting the 'good character' test. Since Dotcom's arrest, Mona (due to give birth to twins in April) and the other three children have been staying in the smaller home since the police raids, but the property is now in control Guy Sayers of Official Assignee, though they won't be evicted. "Certainly no one is going to be evicted. It's no different to any other restraining order where I take custody and control of property, but the family can still live there." "We'll set up a property inspections to make sure there's no damage, but other than that, the family can still enjoy it." Accused of internet piracy, money laundering and racketeering by the US authorities, Dotcom remains in custody following his arrest two weeks ago. Megaupload has since shut down at the request of the US government and several other leading file-sharing sites like Fileserve and Filesonic have changed how they operate. Dotcom, who denies all the charges brought against him, has been denied bail whilst he awaits on possible extradition to the United States. A hearing will take place on February 22nd. Us authorities believe Dotcom and his six senior Megaupload associates (of which others have been granted bail because they were deemed to have a 'minimum flight risk' of fleeing the country) made over £100 million in illegitimate gains through the service since 2005. source - nz herald
