Switch hacker Gary Bowser has been released from jail early, but still has to pay $14.5 million in damages, of which he says he's paid $175. Bowser has to pay Nintendo 25-30% of his gross income, likely 'for the rest of his life'.
In the interview, Bowser claimed he has paid $175 of this to date, which came from the job he was doing in prison, but says that upon his release he will have to start paying a percentage of his gross monthly income to Nintendo.
“With the agreement with [Nintendo], the maximum they can take is between 25% and 30% of your monthly gross income,” Bowser said. “And I have up until, like, six months before I have to start making payments.” In order to pay off Nintendo fully under this agreement, Bowser would have to earn at least $40 million before taxes. Given that Bowser is 53 years old, TorrentFreak suggests this will mean Bowser is unlikely to ever fully clear his debt and will likely be paying Nintendo for the rest of his life.
