RadioNZ reports today that the FBI has taken some of Kim Dotcoms hardware containing crucial data outside of New Zealand without consulting or notifying the courts. Kim Dotcom’s lawyer said today that an order was in place to ensure the hardware and data stays in New Zealand, and he thought it was still in effect. According to the report, a Crown lawyer today confirmed in court that some of the seized goods have already been shipped back to the US by the FBI. It appears the Crown intentionally handed the goods over as they were not in the FBI’s hands before now. Kim Dotcom, who was in the public gallery, wiped away tears and walked out of court.
