The entire article had an odd vibe to it. Either the crime didn't actually happen, or it's just a distasteful example of turning the victims of a felony into a marketing opportunity.

The "victim" is a programmer at Blues Wireless. They reference a tweet but the Twitter account and writer of their blog are the same person.

The whole thing seems like an ad, or just a huge coincidence.

Yeah, it's either a total fabrication or a great example of how to write up a true story that sounds like BS.

I’m sure the original was fantastic until the company’s editors got their hands on it.
