Ding covertly uploaded over five hundred files to his personal Google Cloud account and transferred them to China, all while concealing his affiliations with the Chinese companies and lying to Google investigators. He now faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million for trade secret theft.

"Inside the Mind of Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser: From Prison to Post-Jail Life"

Jailed Nintendo hacker Gary Bowser believes his sentence was meant to send a message to other potential hackers, stating that it serves as a warning to those still involved in the scene. Bowser, a member of hacking group Team-Xecuter, was released from prison last year after being sentenced for creating and selling circumvention devices enabling users to play illegal ROMs on consoles. He pled guilty to two counts and offered to pay Nintendo $4.5 million, and is required to send them a portion of any money he earns after necessities have been paid. Additionally, he was ordered to pay Nintendo an additional $10 million fine in a separate civil case ruling.
