It's almost been 1 year since the Snellman Brothers, owners and creators of Impulse Software, was successfully sued and shut down by Jagex Ltd.
They had to pay fees that were up to about $ 1,000,000 (1 million USdollars), hand over the information of bot users, developers, and all domains.
I was surprised that Jagex literally milked the two brothers for the smallest things. They began their claim with the court that the two brothers had "infringed skill icons such as crafting, mining, smithing, fishing, and other activities". Jagex brought up skill icons... to add into the rest of things they were suing the Snellman's for.. I thought that was kinda low..
I've wondered how that massive fine was paid.
Along with giving the payments from bot purchases over to jagex, I'm certain that the Snellman's had to sell their property and most likely move to a different location, or something along those lines.
More importantly, I guess we can say that the money that Jagex received, was used in a way which was not considered a "good way" to spend that money from the Snellman Brothers.
I was curious to see if the only known address of the Snellman Bro's was still being used, or if the house was even there.

So what do you think of what the life is like for the Snellman Brothers now?
What do you think Jagex used the money on?
