Japanese man arrested for selling thousands of dollars worth of hacked Pokémon
Kochi Prefectural Police state the suspect was using software he downloaded for free from the Internet to illegally modify data, though they lack the specialized knowledge and skills to investigate it further. Yoshihiro Yamakawa was allegedly selling each hacked Pokémon for up to ¥13,000 (about $85 USD) each, leading police to estimate his total sales to be in the millions of yen. While the police investigation is ongoing, the suspect admitted to selling hacked Pokémon, stating, “I did it to earn a living.”
