Gamers received 9000 criminal charges, 5 years in prison, fined 800 million for profiteering from the game

A Polish gamer is facing 9,000 criminal charges and faces a 5-year prison sentence for fraud and profiteering from the game.

Specifically, this guy bought the copyrighted games, then on an auction site to resell access to many people.

The problem is that multi-platform game platforms like Steam or Epic Games currently limit the number of players logged into the account at the same time. Accounts that have too many people at different addresses logged in at the same time can also be permanently locked out.

Therefore, the behavior of the gamer is fraud and the victims are the ones who bought access to his game.

This cunning gamer has been doing his 'business model' since 2014. By 2018, he has earned more than 260,000 USD, about 6 billion VND.

When the incident broke down, he faced 9,000 criminal charges, the property up to 34,000 USD (about 800 million VND) was blockaded. Under the Copyright Act, this guy is also facing a 5-year prison term.

A rather bitter ending for the guy who profited from the game.
