Destiny developer Bungie has won a $4.4m lawsuit against cheat seller AimJunkies in arbitration.

Now Bungie has won $4,396,222 in both damages and fees.

In further Destiny cheat news, Bungie has hit LaviCheats with a similar lawsuit.

Bungie is requesting $2,000 for each of the 2,790 downloads of the cheat software, totally $5.6m. With fees, the total lawsuit would be $6.7m.

Bansal's, aka LeviCheats, unlawful actions are described as «flagrant and wilful» and «demonstrates a willingness to continue with his illegal activities».

Further: «Bansal's statements and actions since receiving notice of the Complaint in this action demonstrate that, absent a significant damage award, Bansal is unlikely to cease his unlawful actions». He allegedly responded to a post on the LaviCheats website forum with «Bungie lawyers you can suck my nuts!».
