Kim Dotcom is recovering in hospital after reportedly suffering a stroke earlier this month. Dotcom was taken to a local hospital on November 7 and then rushed to a regional hospital for treatment. A post to X in Dotcom’s name on Monday informed followers that after suffering “a serious stroke” his recovery is now in the hands of “the best health professionals.”

    Regardless of what you think of him or his actions, it’s pretty horrible that Hollywood can induce so much prolonged stress on the accused before charges are even faced in court that it results in this.

      Wait, the guy is heavy! Pretty sure it’s saturated fatty acid and cholesterol clocking his arteries, not Hollywood.

        Yeah that absolutely would have played a big factor, but stress increases stroke risk as well, so it’s likely a combination of issues. I don’t think it should come as a surprise that this happened to him right after he lost his decade-long battle to avoid extradition to the US.
