Remember Nintendo hacker Gary Bowser? Our last update revealed he was jailed for over three years and fined nearly $15 million for his involvement with Team Xecutor. .
According to the latest information, the Canadian man, who is over 50 years old and has a bond of good deeds, will be released early from a federal prison in the United States and will return to Canada. Team Xecutor allegedly made millions of dollars from illegal activities, and Bowser was sentenced to prison last February.
Bowser eventually agreed to pay Nintendo $10 million in damages, and if he could find a steady source of income in his home country, the video game giant would pay “25-30%” of his gross monthly income. You can receive it. So far he has paid $175.
While this amount is unlikely to be paid, Nintendo’s lawyers have previously revealed that the company wanted to “send a message” to other Switch hackers.
“This is a very important moment for us. It is the purchase of video games that sustains Nintendo and the Nintendo ecosystem, and it is the games that make people smile. We do everything we can to prevent your system from being stolen.”
Bowser was a sales representative for the hacking group Team-Xecuter, who also ran a website that regularly reviewed these products, earning approximately $500 to $1000 per month from operations. Bowser is believed to have made about $320,000 over his seven years.
