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?

In totalitären RuZZia you get five years for embezzlement of government funds.

I'm free, democratic Japan you get five years for modding a game and minor scamming
