If you read this story it looks like KDC was cooperating with the authorities , than he was burned by them .
"Megaupload had every reason to retain those files in good faith because the Government had sought and obtained Megaupload's cooperation in retrieving the files and warned that alerting users to ... the Government's interest in the files could compromise the investigation,"
I think Mega upload was set up so all other file sharing sites would be to scared to continue hosting .
