A few days ago we reported on the arrest of the alleged owner of KickassTorrents and its shutdown by clicking heres. But apparently the file sharing website started working again under a new domain (as usual).
But is it the authentic website?
For the story: The US government has arrested the owner of KickassTorrents, the world's largest torrent website.

TorrentFreak reports that none of the mods had access to the files with the source code of the page. So if the story of The Verge is true, some admin should pick up the KAT.am. But he did not invite the other members of the team who are still in the team Katcr.co;
