All the Insane Loot Seized from Megaupload’s Crazy Owners (Updated)
What do you spend your cash on when you're milking the hell out of the internet with your very own filesharing supersite? Buy things like a Rolls-Royce Phantom with a license plate reading "GOD." Now, the government owns it!

Revealed in the enormous 72-page indictment against Megaupload's operators is the huge list of forfeited property—and it's way more than just their data servers (of which there were sixty). Some highlights?

Cars. Lots of cars:

2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, , LicensePlate No. "STONED";73.
2010 Mini Cooper S Coupe, , License PlateNo. "V";74.
2010 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, , LicensePlate No. "GUILTY";75.
2007 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG, , LicensePlate No. "KIMCOM";76.
2009 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, , LicensePlate No. "MAFIA";77.
2010 Toyota Vellfire,, License Plate Nos."WOW" or "7";78.
2011 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG,, LicensePlate Nos. "POLICE" or "GDS672";79.
2011 Toyota Hilux, , License PlateNo. "FSN455";80.
Harley Davidson Motorcycle, , LicensePlate No. "36YED";81.
2010 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG, LicensePlate No. "HACKER";82.
2005 Mercedes-Benz A170, , License PlateNo. "FUR252";83.
2005 Mercedes-Benz ML500, , License PlateNo. DFF816
1957 Cadillac El Dorado, VIN 5770137596;86.
2010 Sea-Doo GTX Jet Ski,
1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible,
Von Dutch Kustom Motor Bike
2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM,
2010 Mini Cooper S Coupe,LicensePlate No. "T";
1989 Lamborghini LM002, , License PlateNo. "FRP358";92.
2011 Mercedes-Benz ML63, VIN 4JGBB7HB0BA666219
They love them Mercs.

When the brains of Anon can't watch their shows or access their meme collections the government will regret the day they shutdown Megaupload.

****'s getting real yo

If they take piratebay down...again I'm going to be ****ing furious!
I mean, so ****ing angry that a honey badger would run away like a gotdamn poodle.

Leave it to VICE to report on it best:

Ultimately, what we can learn from this whole Megupload fiasco is that, yes, Mega was completely aware they were running a criminal operation. They made a gigantic amount of money and it will certainly go down as one of the most insane digital operations ever. Unfortunately, its timing around the SOPA controversy will probably function as a severe detriment to the freedom of the internet, but only time will tell. For now we can only marvel at the legacy of a man who built a multi-million dollar fortune off of DVD rips.

How does it work if they have their servers overseas and people in the states are accessing their servers?
