Kim Dotcom is a character. Giving the finger to the government that took his site down by setting up a new one. Throwing a press conference complete with a fake FBI raid, pyrotechnics and dancers. Demolishing cheap lawn furniture. Now, thanks to helicopter problems, he’s stranded in the middle of nowhere. Ever the showman, he’s making something of an event of it.
Pilot trying to identify the fault. I have 1 bar of reception. Start rationing water

We hope you get out of there, dude. But in the meantime, we’re glad you’re having fun.
Update: Aaaaaand it’s over. He’s escaped!
Here's Kim Dotcom Being Chased By a Helicopter
Kim Dotcom's Mega Is Now Open To the Public
Mega Will Speed Up Soon, Says Kim Dotcom
So if he was really stranded, who was there to take the pictures of the helicopter leaving?
Mind you, if the helicopter really had run of fuel, it’s not hard to imagine why…
the pilot did a test flight first without passengers after they found a faulty wire (i read that on the american site)
I haven’t seen celebrity bigbro in last 10 years but if they get Kim Dot Com and John McAfee, I sure will!
I’ve never seen more than 5 minutes of any big brother but I would probably watch it too. It’s a pity that TV can’t afford it and they are too intelligent to participate, but it would be good to see a Tech Masters Big Brother with all the major players locked up together.
Re-animate Steve Jobs and chuck him in there with Bill Gates.. Game on
Intellectually Bill kick his arse every single time. The Bully vs the Nerd and the nerd won, again
shame it hadn’t really run out of fuel… I wonder what Dotcom would look like after a couple of months with no food… Would he eat his fellow stranded human beings and keep his own gravitational pull or come out looking like he could stand to gain a few pounds…?
LOL FAT JOKE.
Still, even being trapped in the middle of nowhere with only 1 bar of reception I bet he accomplished more than you.
that he did… I would have just browsed at what apps I can’t get on windows mobile………
If I was as paranoid as he is about the USA wanting his head, I’d stay well clear of choppers and anything else that could have a “catastrophic failure” resulting in death!
Zero “Chopper” Thirty?
I see him as a geeky James Bond villian.
Or Bond’s sidekick? Villain in disguise perhaps?
He could easy play Goldfinger’s bald son.
That or M, avec Judi Dench wig.
I really would like to see a movie out of this legend and featuring John McAfee, a comedy would be even better right?
Who?
I find it incredibly difficult to take this man seriously. For starters he always appears to have this look on his face that suggests he doesn’t take anything in life seriously.
Also, the main thing, he changed is second name to “dotcom”.
REALLY?! =/
I think that’s the whole point – If you start taking the fact that you’re getting royally shafted by the US and your own government lent a hand seriously, then you’d never get anything done.
If it works for him, then why not
This dude is somehow actually starting to grow on me. His antics used to annoy me, but I find him quite entertaining now
Agreed. The industry has far too many boring people as is — thank goodness for Kim Dotcom, I say. (He certainly helps us out on slow news days
)
He should consider a Chinook as his next purchase. He can then suspend himself by ropes underneath dressed as a tank.
