Gizmodo not charged for buying stolen iPhone

Another example of who can get away with a crime and who cannot, depending on your status.

Without going into all the details that 'allegedly' surround the circumstances of the iPhone a brief will be supplied in this post.

  • An Apple employee allegedly forgot his iPhone, at a bar.
  • This was later picked up by a person who then
  • sold it to the tech mag Gizmodo.

It is difficult to imagine that the people involved at Gizmodo had no knowledge that this iPhone, was stolen, or did not actually belong to the seller, given that they are fully aware of the type of product/technology they are dealing with.

Gizmodo has facilitated the sale of stolen property, yet they were immune from prosecution, and instead the individuals that 'found' the phone are under investigation.

Another example of how the legal system favours certain criminals.
