Nothing you said contradicted the fact that an unaccountable person in the government broke their business without any opportunity for megaupload to defend themselves. And so it is exactly like Russia. Unless you think that a grand jury indictment -- and let's not pretend, prosecutors are more than capable of indicting a street post, or a ham sandwhich [1] -- should give the doj or fbi the ability to destroy a business. Further, I'm making no claims about whether megaupload's conduct should be criminal; I'm merely claiming that permitting unaccountable people to destroy companies before any conviction or before megaupload has had any chance to defend itself is bullshit. So no, there wasn't anything like real due process. [1] "As a practical matter, a federal grand jury will almost always return an indictment presented to it by a prosecutor. This is the basis for Judge Saul Wachler's famous saying that a prosecutor can get a grand jury to 'indict a ham sandwich.'" — Solomon L.
