You might want to look into what this dude was actually doing because he was really stupid. On like over a dozen occasions, he live streamed leaked games, days to weeks before their release.
He also sent Nintendo messages taunting them.
Dude deserves it.
Monero is untraceable. You can swap Bitcoin, or basically any other crypto, for it on decentralized exchanges and once you have Monero it’s a black hole. At least as of now, owning Monero isn’t illegal. And it’s impossible to track once it’s swapped.
Edit: oh, sans Monero. Yeah pretty much.
