        You know that Japan has crime? You know that large crime orgs operate in Japan? Everything from drug trafficking, sex trafficking, extortion, protection rackets, arms smuggling is happening.

          Exactly. If I were a cop there I’d feel much safer arresting nerds that modify save files.

          Articles like this popped every once in a while until bored japan cops become a meme at this point.
