Even though Kim DotCom, otherwise known as Kim Schmitz, is currently behind bars awaiting possible extradition to the United States after a New Zealand judge denied an application for bail on Wednesday, the founder of the popular file-sharing website MegaUpload continues to make headlines for reasons not related directly to his case.
After his amazing collection of luxury cars were seized by police last Friday, we thought that would be the last we heard about DotCom’s toys.
Apparently, we were wrong as it has been reported by several New Zealand newspapers that after his arrest, Dotcom’s mansion received delivery of a…full-size inflatable replica of a Russian T-72 tank!
Pictures show the fake tank parked in front of the $30 million mansion that he leases with his pregnant wife and three children. The New Zealand Herald wrote that sources close to the FBI-led raid confirmed that the tank was “definitely” not there when they seized DotCom’s possessions.
“It looks pretty real,” one neighbor told the news daily adding, “Too much money.”
Decoy tanks look like the real thing from a distance and have been used by armies around the globe since World War I.
