Team Xecuter's Gary Bowser ordered to pay $10,000,000 fine in civil case

Early last month, Team Xecuter's Gary Bowser pleaded guilty to charges of trafficking in circumvention devices and conspiracy to circumvent technological measures, resulting in a $4.5 million fine, destruction of property relating to Team Xecuter, and possible jail time. That plea deal was for his federal lawsuit, which is separate to the civil case filed against him by Nintendo of America. The final judgement for that suit came down today, hitting him with another $10 million fine, and ordering a permanent injunction against him from reactivating the Team Xecuter website or utilizing the SX OS, Gateway3DS, or similar brands in any way.

Good. They was not trying to enable Homebrew on the Switch they was straight up stealing other peoples code and selling a method to piracy.
Yeah well with or without stolen code we all lose...

Who knows if someone has working crazy stuff and simply don't release because of how the world is currently going?

Companies paying a lot of money to get their hands on hackers\exploits. Voksi, TX and many others being arrested as a big example, many stop working on cracks\exploits...

So what happends if he cant pay that amount ?
I dont think the guy is that rich
Bankruptcy or wage garnishment, iirc. Basically, he'll either have to auction off most his belongings to write off the fines, or pay a certain amount of cash from his income for the rest of his life, depending on decision.

Americans can't declare bankruptcy due to debts from crime.
Gary Bower is a Canadian citizen who was tried in America.

Can he or can he not declare bankruptcy?

If he can't then what options does a 50 year old have for his retirement? Rely on family and friends? A secret supply of bitcoins Nintendo and the courts don't know about? Public housing? Crime again?

what an ironic thing to say with a signature like yours :rofl:, or let me guess you want all your consoles to be able to emulate nes and snes, right?

Nintendo is well within it's rights to do this, what i'd like to know is how can there be 2 seperate cases by nintendo, but one federal and one civil for what seems to be the same offense? i'm not that well versed in (american) law but it seems silly
Usually they shouldn't be able to pursue him in civil if there's crominal proceedings going on. Actually if there's punishment in criminal court, there is no need for remedy in civil unless they are claiming damages. Also how can they quantify how much money they lost on account of his software? Then again america is hell and the corporations will always win.

Nintendo fanboys, and apple fanboys and americans generally are psychopathic people, with little or no understanding, insight into these things, and they will jump on the bandwagon for gary bowser being "punished". They will also mostly pirate but that's your standard american for you.

Mind you we brits are no better as we are becoming more and more idiotic like the yanks.

If bowser has any sense he will jettison his assets and claim he is broke to get out of this one. IF he has any sense that is and his assets have not been seized. Knowing him, he would already have stashed his assets or owned them "smartly" so such a thing would not hit him hard.

Nintendo and apple are also some of the most anti-consumer horrific companies but the simple minded always follow the devil dressed as a saint.

If he has no assets, and cannot claim bk what are they going to take from him? nothing. Hope he gives them the finger. He must have a plan which is why he pleaded guilty on advice from his legal team if he has one. I am sure he does. Just get out bowser and continue. Just next time ditch the name executer etc and do what you've done before, be in the background.

Uhm yes they do. If one of their own are getting screwed. Since Tencent was getting screwed they told the factories that produced the chips etc. to cease operations. That was the first step in this.
