The latest news from the bail hearing this morning, from the New Zealand Herald. Bail was denied/.
He [the Judge] said he had no doubt that Dotcom, 38, could flee New Zealand if he wanted to because he had access to forged travel documents and money.
"The real question though on the bail application is whether there is any incentive to flee the jurisdiction.''
Judge McNaughton said if Dotcom was able to flee to Germany, he would be safe from extradition because it did not have an extradition agreement with the US. He said Dotcom was a real flight risk, with passports and bank accounts in different names.
Dotcom was remanded in custody until February 22, when extradition papers were expected to be filed"
So he'll soon be missing the luxury of his Dotcom mansion. I can't imagine the food or company in Mt Eden Prison is quite what he's used to.
