Kim dotcom is how I imagine John McAfee if he became a billionaire.

Have you not heard of John McAfee's story?

A family friend of ours knew the guy. He was even more batshit insane than the stories make him seem.

I briefly met him at Defcon years ago and got an immediate off putting vibe to say the least. Then I saw him get up and tell his unhinged life story which then lead to a pitch for some crypto bullshit. I wish I had saved the 60 or so seconds I spent talking to him.

I see him more like the Larry Flynt of file sharing. He's a piece of shit, but he's also fighting for the right side.
