Secuobs.com : 2012-07-28 07:22:40 - Slashdot Your Rights Online - The Megaupload case continues, and on Friday attorneys for the US government made some interesting claims They were in court to argue against a request to dismiss the indictment against Megaupload that was raised on the grounds that Megaupload has no US address After a debate about jurisdiction and precedent, this happened The government also argued that it could keep Megaupload in legal limbo indefinitely 'None of the cases impose a time limit on service,' the government's attorney told the judge Therefore, the government believes it can leave the indictment hanging over the company's head, and keep its assets frozen, indefinitely Not only that, but the government believes it can continue to freeze Megaupload's assets and paralyze its operations even if the judge grants the motion to dismiss That's because in the government's view, the assets are the proceeds of criminal activity and the prosecution against founder Kim Dotcom will still be pending The fact that the assets are in the name of Megaupload rather than its founder is of no consequence, the government claimed IMAGE IMAGE Share on Google Read more of this story at Slashdot IMAGE IMAGE IMAGE
