Afters the authorities terminated MegaUpload yesterday, founder Kim Schmitz’s possessions were targeted, with his car collection being the first to be seized. We’re here to give you a photo gallery that shows the vehicles being taken away.

We don’t know what’s more opulent: the vehicles themselves, or their number plates, which, for example, read “GOD” (Rolls-Royce Phantom Drop Head Coupe), “MAFIA” (Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG), “STONED” (Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG), “GOOD” & “EVIL” (Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG). We have to mention that the photos came to us via Elliott Kember.

We have to tell you that about 30 cars and bike were seized after the authorities intercepted a series of mails that allegedly reveal how Kim offered cash to uploaders in exchange for copywrited material. The vehicles were taken away from his mansion in New Zealand.

The FBI suspended a total of 64 bank accounts and multiple PayPal accounts, which hold a total of $175 million, being held in multiple countries.

@Ranger629 Countries simply exist to give you the illusion of free will.

What jurisdiction does the FBI have in New Zealand? It's like the Nazi's having Jurisdiction in the U.S.A in 1941. If I were New Zealand..I would close my doors ASAP...because the U.S.A are the next MOB NAZI party coming at ya globally!

F**K USA. This is fucking insane. I use to love America, but they stand for nothing real anymore. It's all about money now, start wars anywhere they want, seize someones cash cause they earned it. I bet they will use this money for a new war.

@ Yeti..... America DOES own the internet. Don't ever forget that.

It's still messed up what the FBI did.
