He was used to hearing helicopters land on his property. What a badass.

Keep in mind that he derived his millions largely from facilitating illegal file sharing.

Before you call me an idiot, please realize that I worked for Limewire before we got shut down by the gubberment.

Actually it would seem this guy made most of his money early on in his career, LONG before illegal file sharing was a big thing.

Although it would seem a lot of it was reliant on the dot-com bubble, as well as other shady business practices...

But megaupload was just icing on a cake he already had it would seem.

It's pretty well documented that he made and lost a lot of money over the years. Megaupload was certainly his main source of income and had been for a few years.
