Two members of video game piracy group Team Xecuter are now in custody facing charges in a US court.
Max Louarn, a 48-year old French national from Avignon, Yuanning Chen, 35, from Shenzhen, China, and Gary Bowser, a 51-year old Canadian from the Dominican Republic, were charged in a federal indictment unsealed on Friday.
The indictment alleges the defendants were leaders in an enterprise that developed and sold illegal devices that hacked video game consoles so they could play pirate games. Consoles hacked by the group include the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS.
