Kim DotcomA High Court justice has rejected seven of the eight arguments embattled internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom made against a long-running United States' bid to extradite him over alleged money laundering and copyright breaches. Mr Dotcom is appealing a High Court decision made at the start of the year that he is eligible to be extradited to the US. Mr Dotcom's legal team remains optimistic. Mr Dotcom was looking forward to challenging the US in the Court of Appeal in February, Mr Cogan said. Mr Dotcom has been fighting extradition since soon after his rented Coatesville mansion was raided by police in January 2012.
