I'm surprised Max didn't ask you for more stuff to do.

Did you have a moral line or even a rule set on Mac's console where it's like, listen, we don't distribute pirate software here or anything like that?

No pirated games on these forums were allowed. And I'm trying to think. So Team Executor wasn't actually selling anything on the site. They just linked to places like Divinio where you could buy it from. But still, the Team Executor stuff mostly enabled your device to be able to play pirated games and didn't actually have pirated games on them except for one device.

Yeah, but the True Blue is a stick full of pirated games.

I guess I should talk about where the characters of this story are at this point. So Gary moved from his hometown in Ontario, Canada to the Dominican Republic while he was doing all this. And the ad revenue that he was making from maxconsole.com was enough to support his lifestyle down there. He was making about $40,000 a year. And this was his main job and source of revenue for about nine years.

Maximilian was living in France. Any idea how much Max was making off of these products that he was selling?

Then 2020 came along. The pandemic happened and Gary was in the Dominican Republic.

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.
