Web entrepreneur Dotcom avoids jail

Indicted internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has defeated efforts by prosecutors to send him back to a New Zealand jail or make him wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, but says his long-running legal battle has left him broke.

After a three-day hearing, Auckland District Court Judge Nevin Dawson ruled there was no evidence that Dotcom had secret assets or posed a flight risk, according to Fairfax Media.
