https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_%28service%29

"In July 2015, Dotcom said he doesn't trust Mega service in a Q&A
session with tech website Slashdot, claims the company had "suffered
from a hostile takeover by a Chinese investor who is wanted in China for
fraud" and that the New Zealand government seized this investor's shares
and now has control of the site. Dotcom encouraged readers not to use it
and that he plans to set up a completely open source nonprofit
competitor. Dotcom announced on his Twitter account that he plans to
release a detailed breakdown of Mega's status.[31][32] Mega responded
that the authorities have not opposed or interefered with any of Mega’s
operations.[33]"

The Q&A link and others available via Wikipedia....
