Megaupload founder and sometime EDM musician Kim Dotcom, who is currently embroiled in an online piracy case with the US government, has offered a reward of $5 million to whistleblowers who can help him with his case.
The internet entrepreneur, alongside three colleagues, is facing charges of racketeering, money laundering and copyright theft. Dotcom is currently living in New Zealand where he's resisting extradition to the US, and has now called for whistleblowers to help him with his case.
"My case is unfair," Dotcom tweeted. "I was declined discovery, I didn't get my own data back, I need whistleblowers I am offering USD $5M."

Speaking to TorrentFreak.com, Dotcom expanded on his announcement, saying he wants proof of "unlawful and corrupt conduct by the US government, the New Zealand government, spy agencies, law enforcement and Hollywood."
"It is the opinion of my legal team that disclosure of such information would be lawful. I would also guarantee any whistleblower coming forward would have the best legal representation at zero cost," he added.
Dotcom's extradition hearing begins on July 7.
