Not a lawyer but basically:
You make a bad thing (say burglary)
You are catched with red hands and immediatly bring it back and apologize to the owners.
You are being indicted.

In this case they admitted to be helping piracy of Nintendo games (no matter if it's actually true or not). They settled on a sum to pay back and were ordered to halt development work forever in their lives with anything regarding emulation, nintendo and their products.

Yeah. I guess Nintendo frightened them enough to just say that they are an accessory to infringement. This just keeps getting sadder.
