- pak 17y agoOn the other hand, the guy's lawyer does admit he was the one that found the phone, it's not likely Wired found the wrong person. I don't think Wired is making any assumptions about the legal status of what he did. Does that make it any less freaky that trawling Facebook is what led to this scoop? Well, admittedly no.
