I am not sure about the accuracy of this. The New York Post article has it just as a sidenote and I can't find any other source of this (all other sources point back to NY Post article). On the other hand, I have found sources citing Kim Dotcom as a CEO.

Have a look at the about us page, Kaseem Dean aka Swizz Beatz is listed as CEO. http://www.megaupload.com/?c=about http://www.megaupload.com/?c=about

http://www.megaupload.com/?c=about http://www.megaupload.com/?c=about Lists Swizz beats as the CEO. While to some it may seem a sound business decision, I would be hesitant to be the CEO (fall guy) for notorious criminal Kim Dotcom.

  Be careful about judging people. You probably have several notorious criminals, as you describe them, surrounding you right now.. you just don't know about their misdeeds. I would wager that Kasseem Dean doesn't have a pristine criminal record either. When you adjust to the assumption that you're dealing with dishonest people in business, you learn to contractually protect yourself, and scale your salary demands accordingly. I am sure that Kasseem Dean has done just that.

    Very good point. All that I have ever heard of him was regarding his crimes, but I may well be prejudging. The "Mega" suite of websites is a great feat, as is their market size. You have to be pretty savvy to accomplish that, at least.
