Some MegaUpload users may have been gov't officials

In the wake of the government seizure of file-sharing site MegaUpload in January, speculation is arising that some government officials are actually victims of the site's closure as well. MegaUpload founder Kim Dotcom, who was recently released from prison on bail, said in an interview earlier this week that many MegaUpload accounts belonged to members of the Department of Justice and the U.S. Senate. The legal counsel for the site is currently working with the Justice Department to help users retrieve valuable personal files. It seems bizarre that government officials would attack something that they use, or even use a system so commonplace for potentially crucial information. This just marks another saga in the Wild West that the Internet is becoming.
