*UPDATE*
Authorities are currentlly taking aim at Swizz Beatz after being swindled out of a charge on the count that Megaupload was outside the United States’ jurisdiction. Swizz, who was in the talks of becoming CEO of Megaupload according to his lawyer, Ira Rothken, is now facing a 20 page motion by the feds that can be seen here.
*END OF UPDATE*
Earlier this year in January, the US government seized Megaupload’s domain names, $50 million in assets, and got the New Zealand police to arrest four of the site’s top employees, including its founder Kim Dotcom.
According to AP, all of the Megaupload employees are now being indicted for their contribution towards Megaupload and its file sharing. While some think indicting everyone is over-the-top, one Megaupload employee, Julius Bencko, the graphic designer, made over $1 million in 2010 alone.
Swizz Beatz, speculated as one of the head contributors to the website, has yet to face any type of charges.
