This is odd. How is it that the former chief executive of the UK Intellectual Property Office arrives just in time to "accidentally" spy on Megaupload Limited for the U.S. of America, installed as the Prime Minister's head spy at the New Zealand Government's communications security service? These "accidents" such as omitting to tell Dotcom's lawyer they wanted to take all Megaupload Limited's property are fictional, for God's sake. When does someone get held to account and restrained from having all these "accidents"??????
