iPhone 4 fiasco finally put to rest

If anyone remembers the iPhone 4 fiasco last year, where a prototype was lost by Apple in bar, only to be recovered by someone else and then sold to Gizmodo for their exclusive scoop? Well we know that Jason Chen, who was the editor of Gizmodo at that time, was not prosecuted due to journalism protection laws, but unfortunately it looks like the people who were involved in selling the prototype weren’t so lucky.

However it’s nothing major as their sentences involved a $250 fine each, 40 hours of community service along with a year’s probation. This is due to neither one of them having prior criminal records, which essentially boiled this case down to a simple case of theft. It looks like the iPhone 4 saga has finally been put to rest. Now we’ll have to see how the alleged iPhone 4S story unfolds.
