it's all a scam, they will of made the 1.5million settlement and put in a clause saying he had to go round the media saying this is what happened to me because I pirated something.
he will never pay the money and nintendo will use him as the poster boy against piracy until people start to not care about the story.
more so if they try to claim he is part of a piracy group, these people aren't stupid, they would never take a 1.5million settlement, they would fight it all the way (look at the pirate bay they are still fighting)
basically nintendo has found some1 who doesn't do this very often and got them to agree to a fake number, as non-disclosure on a legal settlement includes the settlement fee and basically said he can get off with it as long as he doesn't tell people it's an anti piracy campaign.
