The disturbing part of James Burt's story is....
the Federal Court granted Nintendo a search order, forcing Burt to allow access to not just his computers and other physical storage, but also his email, websites and social network accounts

I haven't seen any recent information about how Burt is going to settle this massive debt........but I assume he has to make regular part payments.
And if his income ever increases, he wins a lottery or whatever he'll probably be forced to pay as much as possible.

Basically he'll be poor for a long time........unless some sort of financial miracle happens in his life
