Kim Dotcom, the internet entrepreneur fighting deportation from New Zealand to the United States on charges relating to his file-sharing website Megaupload, has suffered a “serious stroke”, a post on his X account said Monday.

“I have the best health professionals helping me to make a recovery. I will be back as soon as I can. Please be patient and pray for my family and I,” the post said.

Dotcom’s lawyer, Ira Rothken, confirmed to The Associated Press that the contents of the statement were accurate. Rothken would not say whether Dotcom or someone else wrote the post and did not provide further details.

    I’d like for you to try and justify all of the times that the U.S Government has broken the law. Laws that they’ve made and international law, unapologetically. Also, you’re making some very weak comparisons. Snowden isn’t like Trump.

      I never justify breaking the law. Everyone who breaks the law must be prosecuted and I never said otherwise. Unfortunately it’s hard to prosecute governments, specially from superpowers like the US.

      Also, you’re making some very weak comparisons. Snowden isn’t like Trump.

      At this point I believe you responded to the wrong person, because I also haven’t even mentioned Trump.
