In an ultimate attempt to speed things up, Dotcom is offering the US Government a remarkable deal. He and his fellow defendants will go to the US voluntarily in exchange for a fair trial, legal funds, and money to pay for personal expenses.

“Hey DOJ, we will go to the US. No need for extradition. We want bail, funds unfrozen for lawyers & living expenses,” Dotcom posted on Twitter.

While this would certainly save the US considerable legal costs, Megaupload’s founder doesn’t think they will respond positively to the offer. By limiting defense funds the US is creating an advantage it doesn’t want to give up.

“They will never agree to this and that is because they can’t win this case and they know that already,” he says.

Kim Dotcom is being reported by Radio New Zealand as having tweeted he would go to US if a deal agreed. Quote from RNZ "The tweet says there is no need for extradition, and he will go to the United States, if he gets bail, his funds are unfrozen and his lawyers and living expenses paid for."

Living expenses are about $50 000 per month!!. It would cost the FBI a fortune for several years worth with all the delays in courts.
