Uhhh.. he literally moderated the r/SwitchPirates subreddit and had ties to multiple pirate shops that distributed the pirated games.

I don't support Nintendo's lawsuits, but people are making it sound like they're going after some random Joe who just mentioned pirating games in a comment or two. Unless you're moderating one of the biggest Nintendo pirating communities or working to distribute pirated games, AND are really bad with op-sec, you're probably fine.
