Man responsible for Durango leak raided by the FBI • News • Xbox 720 • Eurogamer.net

The man responsible for several leaks on Microsoft's upcoming console, codenamed Durango, has had his home raided by the Australian police and an FBI agent.
Dan "SuperDaE" Henry is best known for auctioning off a Durango prototype on eBay, where it sold for a whopping $20,000 - even though it doesn't appear that the transaction ever took place. "It was mostly publicity anyway, no one thought the eBay auctions would ever sell, and they never did," tweeted SuperDaE.

He also supplied over 20 documents about Durango to Kotaku recently - something he assures his followers he "never made a financial gain from."

At any rate, SuperDaE tweeted that the police and an FBI agent raided his home and he even supplied The Tech Game with a copy of his warrant, which listed Microsoft, PayPal, and eBay as those filing charges against him. Microsoft's involvement adds credence to the rumours that what SuperDaE has is in fact the real deal.

Allegedly, SuperDaE could be looking at 20+ years in prison with a possible consecutive life sentence if convicted.

A spokesperson for the West Australian Police refused to discuss the case with The Verge, but noted that "if he wants to tell the world that Police have been investigating him over stolen property that is his choice."

According to SuperDaE, "This raid was a result from the Aussie police kissing America's ass."

Really, possible 20 years to life? the interests of billion dollar companies outweighs all.

And so much for the leaks of Durango being fake.

Wow, microsoft sending the FBI over hardware leaks. I guess they had a big secret to keep about their flimsy hardware.

“There’s an FBI investigation into Valve from a year or two ago. They had their systems compromised by none other than SuperDaE,” he admits to us. Valve are looking to get their own back against SuperDaE now that he’s in a vulnerable spot, as are Epic Games, Blizzard and Sony, who also claim to have fallen victim to SuperDaE.
