I thought it was similar to an ebegging move but I didn't realise how much money the guy is gonna have to give back.

The guy needs a way to make all of that money back and is probably going to be in debt for way too long.

He is still gonna have to pay an ovscene amount of money, that app is going to put him in debt.

Gary bowser was a hacker who got arrested and was forced to pay a £1.5 million fine. He was part of a hacker group called team executioner, they made mod jailbreak chips for the switch.
The chip also bricked your switch it if you didn't pay them a monthly fee.

I was first gonna call him moneygrubby but man 250k. I would be sweating and crying. Imagine making an app only for it to anus you in the ass, all of the effort evaporated and swindled.

Dude is gonna have to work overtime like the dude that bricked people's switches.
