To be fair, they are supposed to collect sufficient evidence of a crime before charging someone. That they haven't charged anyone yet doesn't prove anything. New Jersey, I suppose, has a right to investigate businesses it thinks are defrauding its residents.
But it really feels like there is more to the story. Perhaps someone reused the existing code in malware? Or maybe New Jersey is simply confused.

- eli 12y agoWell, so far that's what the whole case is about: whether the students should have to comply with the subpoena.
- seanflyon 12y agoCould someone explain the difference between a warrant and a subpoena? I have a feeling the distinction is significant here.
