Most likely, yes. Openly offering to purchase unreleased prototypes etc. is pretty common in "tech/gadget" media, and does not constitute theft on the buyer's side, which obviously is the case when in a concealed fashion fencing/trading something that you clearly know is someone else's property. This is de facto international law.
