They take him to jail. He stays there for five weeks. They take him to another jail. He stays there for three weeks. He finally sees the judge and they ask him, hey, are you guilty or not, Gary? And he's like, these charges are crazy. I'm not guilty. Now, at this point, the prosecutors have to gather more evidence on him.

Gary's name on Mac's console forum was simply Gary OPA, and that name was easily linked to his company that sold Texas Instrument parts in 1984, so it was very easy to figure out who Gary was. He made no attempt at hiding what his real name was. So when Nintendo wanted to come after Team Executor for the SX Pro stuff, they came right after Gary. But he wasn't the only one caught up in this.

Let me read the title to you of the FBI press release. Two members of notorious video game piracy group Team Executor are in custody. The other that was arrested was Maximilian. He was arrested while on vacation in Tanzania, but he somehow convinced the police there that his arrest was illegal. And guess what? The Tanzanian police agreed and they let him go.

Quickly, he called a friend who had a plane in South Africa, and they flew the plane to him, and he hopped on it and flew back to France. And while on the plane, he posted a picture on Instagram saying that he's flying alone on a 10-person private jet. But when you have to go, you have to go. Apparently, he's untouchable in France by U.S. authorities.

The FBI cannot seem to get him arrested or extradited there. But they were able to freeze some of his bank accounts and cryptocurrency accounts that were within the FBI's reach. And there was a third person listed on this indictment too, a Chinese guy named Chen. My guess is that he was overseeing the production of the chips in China. But since he's in China, he's unreachable by the FBI.

Did you try to fight that and say, actually, I think that's disproportional of what I was actually involved with?
