Bungie wins a $4.4 million judgment against AimJunkies.

), judge Ronald E.

Despite AimJunkies' aggressive and partially successful defense against Bungie's initial lawsuit, it doesn't seem to have put up much of a fight in the arbitration process. David Shaefer, the part owner and"managing member" of AimJunkies parent company Phoenix Digital Group, testified during the hearing but"was not a credible witness," the judge found.

The same day the arbitration ruling was issued, Bungie submitted it to the court presiding over the still-ongoing copyright infringement case, with a request that the court use the ruling to impose aagainst AimJunkies, and to apply the financial judgment in its favor. Assuming the court does , that will effectively end the case.

The day after winning the arbitration case against AimJunkies, Bungie also filed for a default judgment ofagainst another cheat maker called LaviCheats. Bungie's case against LaviCheats actually began in 2021, but LaviCheats has refused to acknowledge or respond to the complaints.

albertodianadan oiiiiii!

yeah.... and the Ukranian Company that bought Aimjunkies in may of 2022 will probably file bankruptcy or War time hard ships.

How tf they going to pay that lol

Sure cheating is very bad and unfair. But it's just a freaking game, it shouldn't have all this seriousness about it.

Hopefully, this serves as a warning to other cheat makers…but if it comes out of Russia, China, or somewhere western courts have no jurisdiction, the judgements won’t do anything.

Amazing. These piss-buckets deserve judgements like this.
