Nick Castellucci

Nick Castellucci is a software engineer and hacker. In 2013 and 2014, Nick and 3 partners successfully hacked into EA Sports’ FIFA Operating System to generate FIFA Coins at an exponential rate –– making millions of dollars along the way. Following an FBI Investigation, he pleaded guilty to Wire Fraud and served no prison time. However, upon further review, the case appears to be a prime example of massive government overreach –– and the “crime” doesn’t seem to have been a crime at all. In this podcast, Nicks tells the story behind how it all went down.
