Procedural error may block Megaupload trial

Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom may never face trial or extradition to the United States because the company has never been served with U.S. “criminal papers,” due to a jurisdictional dispute.

“I frankly don’t know that we are ever going to have a trial in this matter,” United States District Judge Liam O’Grady told the FBI during a hearing on whether federal officials have the authority to erase the databases of the file-sharing website, per the New Zealand Herald.
