No he won't. He'll just start another private server and thats it. But now insted of ocean he'll be anonymous so joymax wouldn't track him xD
just so he can possibly get caught and spend years in jail , i don't think so. Oceans not a genious that can make himself untracable, they can even report to his website host or dedicated server host that hes commiting illegal actions , they can report his Ip and close his servers/website down and track him by using his ip.

The misappropriation of trade secrets, in one form or another, is often the motivation for unauthorized access, hacking, or theft in the business environment. This is nothing new. Stealing business plans and trade secrets of US companies has been a standard business practice for summer clerks and interns from other countries. This case is a reminder that protecting your trade secrets as a business is a critical function and contracts with employees and contractors can go a long way in establishing legal protections against misappropriation.
