I feel like I can tell the story from my own mouth and not have anyone speculate what happened to me anymore.
In 2009 for those of you that don't know, I was taken to court for "Uploading and circumventing copy protection methods for New Super Mario Bros Wii" a week before release.
It's true I did that and I did not profit from it or intent to.
I also was active here talking about how to circumvent the protection on the game that made it crash, however before that there were doubters I had the game, in an attemp to prove I had it I posted receipts and other media to prove I legit had the game before release.
Was that stupid, HELL YES! I was naive and screwed up big time by uploading the software and I got caught squarely and fairly.
Nintendo wanted payback for loss of sales and IP damage, which they successfully settled out of court with me for 1.5 Million plus lawyers fees.
Not obviously having that money or actually much money in general I had to throw my hands up in the air and claim bankruptcy.
This means that for 3 years from that date, I had to answer to a bankruptcy adviser and if I earned over a certain amount a year, they take 50%.
I'm free from those shackles now but what happened to my life during 2009 to 2014 has been one hell of a ride.
In 2010 I found the love of my life, who is now my wife of 3 years and in 2012 we had a baby, he is now almost 2 years old and my pride and joy.
I still love Nintendo and bought a Wii U and support it, I still lerk here and I'm just glad to clear the air.
So you all know I see those comments about me and thanks for the birthday wishes every year.
Anywho, take care see you around.
