In a more disturbing, yet amazingly interesting, story involving Nintendo, we're told the tale of George (not his real name, obviously) and how he was locked up. What makes this story interesting to you, fine reader, is that the man went to jail for the theft of a massive amount of Nintendo software. It isn't mentioned if it's DS or Wii games, but either way it added up to a whole lot of dough.
In telling how he had gotten locked up in a Japanese prison, George informs us that "He saw an opportunity to make some money and he took it. ¥1 million worth of Nintendo game software was sitting in the warehouse in which he worked and he figured that they needed to be sold. He pocketed around ¥300k but within a few days it was fairly obvious to his bosses that he had done it."
