Does anyone feel this whole incident is a carefully staged by the FBI and Apple?
I'm not into conspiracy theories, but I'm wondering on this one.
Why would the FBI, or Apple make this so public? The Apple letter seemed staged?
The federal government always seems to get what it wants in the end, especially if one has a lot to lose?
I imagine the conversation starts off with an indignant, appalled CEO.
"Hell No--I'm not giving you access to my customers data!"
Federal government counters with, "Do you want us to scrutinize your past, and present life?"
"Do you want us to look at every stock trade you ever made?"
"Do you want us to publicize the personal information we have on you already?
"You know we can make your life misserable? You know we can make your companies life misserable?"
No this isn't Russia, but our law enforcement branch of the federal government scares me, and I'm a nobody. There's been some deaths, especially in tech, that seem suspicious. The drug overdoses--guy in San Francisco that was about to give a talk on ATM hacking comes to mind.
That tech guy who died in that fiery car crash on Los Angeles.
(I don't want to argue with anyone. I have no evidence. Just a weird feeling. And yes, Tim Cook seems like a choir boy. He comes across as someone who doesn't even jay walk.)
