Rachel Allen’s got company – Megaupload boss liked to hunt here too

Partying in Ireland was something which Kim Schmitz, founder of the now-banned Megaupload service, obviously liked to do. In fact, the tech bad boy went duck hunting here in 2009.

The Irish Independent reports that Kim and his entourage went on a duck hunting trip at Humewood Castle, Co Wicklow, with photographs of the lavish knees-up for which guests were flown in by helicopter having now surfaced.

One of the images in question is a Rachel Allen-style picture of the gun-slinging millionaire showing off his brace of kills. Maybe when all this racketeering nonsense is over he can come back and go on a big, mad shoot with our Rachel.

It just goes to show you that you only really get to know famous people when they get arrested and have all their dirty laundry hung out in public. It's amazing the amount of stuff we've found out about Kim since he was arrested in New Zealand on money laundering and racketeering charges.

For example, we've found out that he and his cohorts liked guns, luxury cars and having large amounts of cash hanging around. Even more spectacularly odd was the news that Kim is the World's best Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 player.

And now we can add Irish duck hunting to crazy Kim's list of activites. What a guy.
