He never really wanted me to get too involved. He knew I could, but he wanted me to be arm's length away from it in case something did happen. He said, just stay as a PR guy because that way freedom of press, not directly connected. If anything does happen, it won't hurt you.

Yeah, there was actually a lot of rules. I would not allow links to pirated stuff. I would take down ads that advertised SD cards full of ships. There was a few times resellers would try to do that. I would send them a letter and say, hey, you can't do that. I'm taking down your ad. There's no refunds. You can advertise a product, but you can't advertise games.

I would actually take action if I got an actual enforcement letter. When I used to publish mods for Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar would send me a letter and say, hey, don't talk about mod packages for GTA, please. I would say, okay, no problem. I took down the post. When the Activision stuff got hacked and the Skyliners, which were a very popular toy, Activision contacted me.

They sent me a cease and desist. I took down the information. When the leaks of the Sony SDKs came out, And I posted about it. Sony would say, hey, it's okay, but take down any links to it. I would take down the links. So there was some back and forth that way, too. There was not supposed to be any links to any ROMs on the site.

There was a couple posts that I missed that were in the Classic II Magic area that had links, again, to this ROM bank site. But they weren't supposed to be on that at all. Hmm.

Yeah. I mean, we didn't sell the devices on the MaxConsole website. We talked about it. It was up to you to find the devices. I didn't profit off of it either.

Not really. I mean, people come up with estimates and stuff. Attendo themselves came up with an estimate. They estimated around $500,000. SX OS licenses were sold at the time. So you can think of $500,000 times $25 for the license fee, and that's not on the hardware, that's just pure profit. So that's not counting the Gateway 3DS or any other devices.

What happened to me is on September the 27th, I was looking forward to wake up that day because where I was living was in Dominican Republic. And we were under a COVID lockdown for the longest time. When COVID hit Dominican Republic, the president there put the country into basically martial law. You couldn't be outside your house after five o'clock at night. You couldn't leave your neighborhood.
