Kim Dotcom

Also at the six-figure end of the scale is the extradition case for Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom. A total of thirteen lawyers have been battling on behalf of the US government, who want to extradite him on the charges of copyright, money laundering and racketeering. One News has estimated the cost at $1.2 million so far. Another five months of legal battling are ahead.
