Kim Dotcom to be Extradited to US After 12-Year Legal Battle

New Zealand Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith signs order for Dotcom to face trial over Megaupload charges.

Dotcom has been fighting extradition since a 2012 FBI-ordered raid on his Auckland mansion.
US authorities allege Megaupload cost film studios and record companies over $500 million.
Two former Megaupload executives avoided extradition by accepting plea deals and serving jail terms in New Zealand.
Dotcom criticized the extradition decision on social media, blaming users' uploads for the charges.
The New Zealand Minister of Justice allowed Dotcom time to consider and take advice on the decision.
