A man in Georgia received the sentence of 3 years in prison for purchasing one Pokémon card with some money of the Covid refund. The action was taken after the 31-year-old bought a card Holographic Charizard of the first editionaccording to what is reported by the DOJ (Department of Justice), a ben 57,789 Dollars.
The man appears to have received his refund after claiming he owns a small business with 10 employees. However, as you have read, the money received as a refund seems to have had another destination.
In addition to imprisonment, the judge requested one for the man fine of $ 10,000in addition to the restitution of the others 85,000 Dollars. It does not end there, because once the man has counted the three years in prison, he will also have to live for another three years on probation.
Last detail, the Pokémon card purchased by the man is now owned by the government.
Collecting has always been an integral part of card games, and being in possession of cards from stratospheric rarity not only can it be a great pride for the lucky one, but also a real treasure. However, being able to carry out unethical (or worse, illegal) acts to satisfy this passion is an extremely serious problem.
Meanwhile, the Pokémon world grows out of all proportion, with the great success of a few weeks ago Pokémon Arceusup to the most recent announcement of the new generation: Pokémon Scarlet And Pokémon Violetpresented with a new tralier and with the three starters already revealed to the public.
Mobile stocks have also hit the runway over the past few years, with Pokémon GO still very much played in the audience, and with Pokémon Unite which came like a bolt from the blue to add a new type of titles in which the brand of Nintendo and Game Freak has taken root.
