someone finds the phone... and instead of handing it into the bar owner(kind of ok as might not trust them) or letting the police know(basic thing to do if you find something worth 100's of dollars imo) or even contacting the guy whose name they knew and knew he was on facebook by say facebook they instead call the phones manafacturer! it woukld be like someone phoning Google tech support and saying they found my phone... Not going to work.
THEN the person sells the device for ... 5'000 Dollars! he even KNEW whose phone it was but he still sold it that is unforgivable imo and shows he knew exactly what he was doing.
Gawker bought a phone from someone that they KNEW was not the actual owner! they knew it belonged to Gray! they are in the wrong too.
now factor in that this is a prototype device so a special technology division become interested(maybe at the bequest of Apple but we dont know) they decide to look at the computers of the person who has had it in their possesion and has taken apart the device for financial gain!!
it hardly seems strange that they got a search warrant does it.
Im not a lawyer but it seems logical and not at all suprising that its being investigated! remember no one has been charged with anything!
