Addressing his ongoing legal fight against extradition<\/a>, the embattled internet businessman also claimed the Government had been warned of his stroke risk by his doctor but ignored the advice.<\/p>\n \u201cThey still want to extradite<\/a> me. Let\u2019s see if the PM [Christopher Luxon] takes my peace offer. If not I will ask you for your help.\u201d<\/p>\n Dotcom<\/a> thanked his family, healthcare workers and rehabilitation experts for supporting his recovery.<\/p>\n \u201cMy gratitude to you,\u201d he signed off. <\/p>\n Dotcom first revealed he had become wheelchair-bound some two months after the stroke.<\/p>\n \u201cSorry, I have some memory loss and speech impairment issues,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m working on my recovery from my stroke.
