Gotta Arrest ‘Em All: Man Busted for Selling Illegal Pokémon in Online Black Market Bonanza

Caught ’em all, and cuffed: Japanese police nab a man for selling illegally modified Pokémon. He pocketed a small fortune with his gaming black market—until the law used its master ball. #GottaArrestEmAll

Hot Take:

Who knew that the world of Pokémon could spew out a real-life Team Rocket member? Yoshihiro Yamakawa, the aspiring Giovanni of save data, has been caught red-handed, proving that sometimes, the line between virtual crime and actual crime is as thin as a Zubat's wingspan. Gotta catch 'em all, or in this case, gotta catch 'em all... and sell 'em for a profit!
