The conspiracy charge is based upon conspiring with others to commit copyright infringement, and the money laundering charge is based upon his use of the proceeds of an alleged crime - namely, copyright infringement.<p>Based upon this, a higher court may very well reverse the lower court&#x27;s decision.  Kim Dotcom isn&#x27;t going anywhere until he has exhausted all of his extradition appeals.
