Apparently it's kinda like a public hanging, which is good if you think about it. They made an example of the guy but behind the scenes they just roughed him up a little.

However, the dude also said that he was told by Activision that if he retained an attorney to defend himself, Activision would really drop the hammer on him." (continued)
