Kim Dotcom seeks topnotch chef and counter-intelligence staff for new house

Dotcom, a German national with New Zealand residency, has moved from Auckland to the tourist hub of Queenstown

Kim Dotcom, the founder of file-sharing company Megaupload, is advertising for live-in staff in his New Zealand mansion; and the eclectic team, including a chef and counter-intelligence officer, he is recruiting will make for a lively household.

Dotcom, a German national who has permanent residency in New Zealand, shifted south from his longtime base in Auckland to the tourist hub of Queenstown in the lower South Island last year, citing a desire to get away from "spies" and raise his children among mountains and lakes.
