The fall of this blatantly obvious trolling scheme came on the 24th of September, when Cyraxx recieved a troll-penned cease and desist letter from Nintendo of America, telling him that ShadoKai was an obvious Pokémon rip-off. In a desperate bid to turn the situation into his favor, Cyraxx boasted that the letter inadvertently provided him with enough evidence to lock up William and John John for good this time<ref>https://rumble.com/v6zeii8-cyraxx-09-24-25-letter-from-video-game-company.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a</ref>. Not only does he think that he can have the letter dusted for fingerprints (while manipulating it with his bare hands himself), but that impersonating a Nintendo employee is a severe federal felony punishable by imprisonment. | The fall of this blatantly obvious trolling scheme came on the 24th of September, when Cyraxx recieved a troll-penned cease and desist letter from Nintendo of America, telling him that ShadoKai was an obvious Pokémon rip-off.

Legally-speaking, impersonating the employee of a company only constitutes a crime if done with illicit intent, such as fraud, scamming or monetary gain (a point which Cyraxx even reads out). Doing so for a mere prank will most likely not stick for a hypothetical case. | Legally-speaking, impersonating the employee of a company only constitutes a crime if done with illicit intent, such as fraud, scamming or monetary gain (a point which Cyraxx even reads out). Doing so for a mere prank will most likely not stick for a hypothetical case. Furthermore, he concluded that the letter was fake because the stamp indicated that it came from Miami, and not Remond, Washington state, where Nintendo of America's heardquarters are located. This is as though Nintendo doesn't have several branches throughout the United States, and didn't even know that the letter should be signed by, "Nintendo of America", not "Nintendo of The United States." | ||
