Police in Japan have arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of selling illegally modified Pokémon save data to customers online — a practice which is banned under the country’s 2019 Unfair Competition Prevention Act.

This dude was selling Pokemans with modified move sets for up to $80 a pop and could now face up to 5 years in prison.

Is this not insane? Or do you think he could face a much less severe sentence and the 5 years prison and $30k just the upper limit for this particular set of crime?

    Libs cope and seeth when an oligarch that embezzled 12 BILLION dollars is sentenced to death in Vietnam but will nod approvingly when a man’s life is ruined for trying pay his rent by modding some pokemans as a side gig.
