The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal from embattled internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom, leaving intact an order that lets the federal government seize $40 million from accounts in Hong Kong and New Zealand.
A federal appeals court said Dotcom and his associates can’t try to block the seizure because they are fugitives who are fighting extradition to face U.S. criminal charges.
