Destiny 2 cheat maker refuses to show up for court and now owes Bungie $6.7 million

Another day, another big lawsuit win for Bungie: This time around, the Destiny 2 studio has won a $6.7 million default judgment against Kunal Bansal, the operator of the cheating website lavicheats.com.

Bungie's case against Lavicheats actually began in 2021, alongside similar complaints brought against Elite Tech Boss and VeteranCheats. The Elite Tech Boss case was settled in June 2022 for $13.5 million, but neither LaviCheats nor VeteranCheats responded to Bungie's lawsuits. Because of that, Bungie filed for default judgments against both cheat makers; a $12 million judgment against VeteranCheats was awarded to the studio last week, and today it scored a $6.7 million win against LaviCheats.
