Kim DotcomThe FBI convinced the New Zealand government to raid the mansion of Kim Dotcom with its elite counterterrorism unit by claiming that he was in possession of a "doomsday device." The FBI believed that the Megaupload founder had developed a way to immediately eliminate all evidence of computer-related crimes from his systems with the flick of a switch. Unfortunately for the FBI -- or fortunately, depending on how you look at it -- he didn’t. That's  evidenced by the fact that it took the aforementioned elite police around fifteen minutes to find Dotcom in his safe room. If he'd his hands on a doomsday device, he had plenty of time to use it. He didn’t, so everyone just looks silly.
