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?

I'm pretty sure they named the KyoAni guy, he's getting the death penalty I think

Oh, you're right. His name is Shinji Aoba. Everything I read about him suggests he's incredibly depressed and mentally ill. He's a murderer but he's clearly not in his right mind, so the death penalty seems overwhelmingly harsh.
