Remember the guy that made Server Mapper…goes by the name: “cotojestwtf“. Well, various sources are reporting that he was recently raided by Polish police, which resulted in the closure of his YouTube account, along with no longer being able to work on the PS3Linked project.
He most likely got in trouble for Server Mapper, which was used in conjunction with f*ck PSN (falsifying SSL/certs) to bypass PSN restrictions on CFW. For those who don’t know, the PS3Linked project was a way for CFW and OFW to connect to each other to play”online”…similar to XlinkKai, but able to play with a wider array of PS3 consoles.
The admin over at a Polish PS3 site has posted the following (translated):
At the beginning i want to apologize all people that waiting for an aplication Ps3Linked. Well known is that we want a public test, but he doesnt start. why ? i explain . Unexpectedly one of my familiar people has brought on me to police that i pirate/hack Playstation 3. For proof, he indicated my youtube channel. Day 30.06.2011, the two policeman in the morning, has confiscated my PC and i go with them to police station. It has managed to reach an agreement ultimately, that I will receive no punishment for my YT channel, but they find other things.
I have obtained my PC 2.07.2011, but all empty. Aplication PS3Linked is still in WIP 90% [work in progress] but im no longer to work on that, but There let’s be certain to see this application daylight soon. After this , i understand many dewelopers about next CFW , you should them understand too, because , you dont know when the law is going to kick in your face. What with me ? I dont create any ,,tutorials” YT channel with ,,dark side”, but i still will be watching ps3 sites less throwing for eyes categories.
