The U.S. government has filed a superseding indictment in its case against Megaupload.com and Megavideo.com. The new indictment clarified some statements regarding the sources of income for the websites, and their number of users. It also added assets belonging to the organization, raising its value substantially, and added counts of criminal copyright infringment, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The new indictment expands what was already a massive case against Megaupload.com, which has so far resulted in the arrest of 5 individuals from multiple countries and the seizure of $50 million in assets.
