Megaupload founder offers deal to the US

11.07.2012
Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom has offered to do a deal with U.S. prosecutors, who are seeking his extradition from New Zealand to the U.S.

"Hey DOJ, we will go to the US. No need for extradition. We want bail, funds unfrozen for lawyers & living expenses," Dotcom said in on Twitter on Tuesday.

A District Court at North Shore in Auckland, New Zealand has rescheduled tentatively to March 25 next year the hearing on the extradition. It was earlier scheduled to commence on Aug. 6.

Dotcom has used his Twitter account frequently to mock the U.S.

But in , Dotcom said the delays in the case were placing pressure on his ability to defend himself from the charges.

"They are sitting on all my money. I have no money to pay my lawyers. Every move they make, they know I have to send my lawyers there. They make it so I have no chance in the long run to defend myself. Lawyers need money too," he told the newspaper. Dotcom's assets were seized in January.
