Wow, so hiphoprobot threw these guys straight under the bus for some internet fame. I mean they might have been caught eventually but he just gave them up.
They paid nothing for it, $300 profit straight up.
I think it's highly likely he would have known the people he was buying it from and where they worked, getting a new console ~2 weeks before it even launches should have set off alarm bells.
"They shipped it early bro"...yeah sure.
They got what they deserved and I can't say I feel bad for them but, yeah, anyone with any common sense would've known to keep quiet about something like this (not to protect the thieves but to protect themselves).
