Depends on what he did with them. Likely nothing, considering he's speaking about it so freely on a public website.

Wonder what the implications of just taking the CC numbers 20 years ago would have been?

Probably depends on how they acquired them (breaking into an online store's payment transaction database / trading for the CCs on IRC / lifting them using a physical skimmer / etc.)
Yeah, I never actually used or shared/sold any of it since it was mostly a game for me. But nowadays I understand it is a very bad idea even just to store this kind of stuff.
