This process has already begun, with Nintendo taking back $175 from Bowser's prison job while incarcerated at the SeaTac Federal Detention Center in Washington. It seems impossible he'll ever be able to pay the total back in full.Prior to his arrest, Bowser had worked as part of the hacking group Team Xecuter as the company's"salesman", reportedly making $320k over seven years - significantly less than the fine he is now required to pay.
However, Nintendo's lawyers stated Team Xecutor had caused the company"damages greater than $65m" due to spending time updating hardware to deter piracy.Nintendo's lawyers and US district judge Robert Lasnik discussed Bowser's jail time as a means to set an example to deter future hackers, despite risks to Bowser's physical health.
"I always tell the jurors, 'Your role is not to send a message. Your role is to decide guilt or innocence on the facts'," Judge Lasnik said."But my role sometimes does entail sending a message."

About to have bro working under the building slaving away.
Gary Bowser hacked the company led by Doug Bowser, a company famous for its main villain being Bowser? The Matrix AI is getting lazy.
Quasi indentured servitude after prison, man that is a LOT
I mean it's basically the equivalent of paying child support.
Nintendo, ruining lives since 1889
His name is actually Bowser, I thought it was his hacker handle or screen name. That’s a little too ironic.
Being devil's advocate, maybe nintendos slack engineers should be in debt too, because if they built it secure in first place, this wouldnt need redesigning 🤷
