Alleged internet pirate Kim Dotcom says he just wants to go home, after being granted bail. The move came after it emerged it was highly unlikely he had access to money that could help him flee New Zealand. The Crown was considering appealing the decision. Dotcom took an hour to appear after signing his bail papers.He was whisked away by his security staff to an awaiting Toyota. Judge Nevin Dawson said at the North Shore District Court that officials had investigated Dotcom's potential access to funds and "none of significance" had been found.

Four new bank accounts had been discovered in the Philippines but they were empty, he said
