Kim Dotcom loses title of top Modern Warfare 3 player

Last week we reported that Kim Dotcom, the larger-than-life founder of Megaupload, was also apparently the top Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 player in the world.
Dotcom, who was arrested last week as the DOJ shutdown Megaupload, went by the name "MEGARACER" in MW3 multi-player and had over 180,000 kills as of his arrest.

Adding to the man's rough week is the fact that he has already been surpassed as the top player in the blockbuster game. A player with the handle "Arazos" is now the top player, and will likely remain there as Dotcom sits in prison awaiting a hearing.

Arazos has 9.09 million points on the MW3 leader boards, just eking past MEGARACER's 9.05 million. Arazos also has 181,000 kills to just 63,418 death, a ratio of 2.87 compared to Dotcom's 2.10.

The 6'6 285 pound Dotcom has been held without bail thanks to his history of fleeing criminal charges and his access to millions of dollars and guns.

He's being held without bail because of his access to millions of dollars and guns? Guns? This guy apparently avoided law enforcement for years while running a pirate website, hoarding guns, and playing too much COD....What!!! I know I feel safer knowing this outlaw is off of the street. Whew, am I glad my government and law enforcement were on top of this.

Get real buddy. Both parties are the same, and serve the same interests. If you can't see that maybe you better take another look. Ever wonder why they only let us have a "choice" between one or the other? No third or fourth option? You probably believe the "free" media doesn't take sides either.
