Nintendo hacker group boss Max Louarn has been interviewed on his company’s activities, following the 40-month prison sentence handed down to colleague Gary Bowser.
Bowser remains the only member of Louarn’s company Team Xecuter to be arrested, deported and now imprisoned in the US, for his part in the group’s sale of console mod devices that allowed people to play pirated games. Louarn, a French citizen, meanwhile lives in Avignon and was recently interviewed by Le Monde (paywall), via TorrentFreak.
“I was’t going to end up as an engineer earning €5k a month when I realized, at 18, that hacking was not just fun, but that there was a way to make a lot of money,” Louarn says, of how he got into the hacking game. “Stealing from companies that make billions, what do I care?”
