man I honestly do not know how these people are so brave. Seriously. They're going to be absolutely giga-fucked when they're found out, and it sounds like they're going to be since they're using OneDrive, Discord, and it sounds like their crypto address is directly linked to a known crypto exchange who validates IDs. It's only a matter of time. At this point they should be planning on leaving the country IMO.

Also note how they're asking for Machine IDs. We only heard about their existence a month ago over "security" and already the lawyers are using them. Don't trust non-open-source.

Take Two won't forget this, they go after mod developers. They're only a step down from Nintendo in terms of their legal pushes.

If there is no jail (which at this point I'd be surprised), minimum they're going to have millions owed. Guaranteed these are some idiot kids who are going to fuck up the rest of their lives.

It’s probably some 20 year old who thinks they are making a statement. They are getting gassed up by people agreeing with with stated goal. But gonna really regret it a year from now when they are screwed and everyone forgot
