I would have sailed away upon the morning tide and let NZ's internal politics take care of themselves from a safe remove.

  Easier said than done. Where are you going to find a boat? How will you buy it? Where are you going to sail to? There are exceedingly few countries with no extradition to the USA. Who's going to sail the boat? It would be a foolish idea to try and sail across the ocean with no experience, especially if you have the physique of Kim Dotcom. How are you going to access your money, most of which has been frozen? How are you going to get into the country when you have no passport as it's been confiscated?

    It wouldn't be the first time someone illegally entered a country or smuggled something via boat. And yes, someone like Kim Dotcom has the resources to try.

      “Running” doesn’t make you look great/innocent. As an onlooker, it is very hard to understand how exactly this is “justice”, given that he hasn’t been to the US and the US has not been able to prosecute him under other country’s laws - these are not lawless countries but countries with robust legal codes and systems. Every time this goes to court, the US just looks like a bully trying to throw their weight around. Either he still has faith in the legal system, or he’s trying to show how corrupt it is - none of those reflect well on the other parties involved.

        His wife and his kids are still in NZ; I imagine that is the main reason why he wouldn't want to leave NZ. He still seems to be living comfortably. I see him driving around in various G Wagons on a regular basis.

        I was replying to someone arguing he couldn't. I didn't say he should. Not sure why you even typed that, honestly.
