    What are the odds that a Venezuelan court would recognize a cease & desist plus a lawsuit from a Japanese corporation over intellectual property?

    It's from 2021. The kid did make the fake Nintendo from a box, but he wasn't given a cease and desist letter, he wasn't sued by Nintendo, and he also didn't receive a Nintendo. Nothing else happened.

    While I hate Nintendo for all the shitty things they do, this is not true. Here’s a fact check:

    I just assumed it was fake based on the community.

    I mean I just assumed it was fake because of what it is...

    Well, that too. The whole CEO personally delivering a cease and desist is a pretty big hint.

    Paco is slang for Police in Venezuela way before this child born in 2011-2012, and no one with more than 2 neurons would have called its child like a cop.

    Police in Venezuela during Chavismo are pretty shit people and no one likes them, they're usually all criminals in uniform. Some people do prefer to be mugged by criminals than being stop by the police on the street.
