Xbox Modders Feel the Strong Arm of Johnny Law
Into modding? Better watch out or the Feds will be all over your ass like a cheap suit. That is, should you take your "hobby" and make it a rent-paying endeavor.
Jason Jones, a Los Angeles video game shop owner, has been put on probation for three years. Better yet, Jason gets to wear one of those stylish ankle bracelets so that the authorities can monitor him 24-7.
He and two other buddies were caught selling chipped Xbox consoles and pirated games by an undercover agent (huh?) from the Entertainment Software Association. Both have been ordered to pay ESA a fine of US $2,648.
Another involved modder, Pei "Patrick" Cai, has yet been apprehended. He's described as a fugitive by the US attorney's office. Screw drug dealers and murders, the real bane of society are those damn Xbox modders!
