Dotcom is currently avoiding extradition to the US in New Zealand.

Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom took to Twitter over the weekend, rallying against the US government and claiming the case they have against him for copyright infringement is unfair.

Dotcom keeps it straightforward in his tweet:
"My case is unfair:
I was declined discovery
I didn't get my own data back
I need Whistleblowers
I am offering USD $5M"

An article on Torrent Freak offers a bit more depth into his request.

Dotcom has been fighting extradition to the US from New Zealand since 2012.
