Man Busted For Selling CoD: WWII Copies Stolen From A Sony Factory

4.3
According to Kotaku, a man who resides in Terre Haute, Indiana has been charged with theft and “offense against intellectual property” for selling PlayStation 4 copies of popular games – including Call of Duty: WWII.

Apparently the man stole the games from a nearby Sony DEDC factory in Terre Haute, though, oddly enough, he didn’t work there. It’s there that Sony produces a number of CD, DVD and Blu-Ray discs, though there are other plants where they do so.

A report from WTHITV notes that the man was busted during a routine traffic stop, where police found a number of copies of both Call of Duty and Madden NFL 18 in his car.

So, it turns out that he’s been taking these games and selling them for $45 apiece on eBay since earlier in the month. But here’s the thing – he doesn’t work at the factory, so police aren’t certain where he was able to get them. They’re currently checking into the matter, alongside Sony.

Call of Duty: WWII releases on November 3rd for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Right so, he managed to get legitimate copies of the upcoming games from an actual warehouse and didn't get caught, however a got caught by a "Traffic Cop" you'd think he would have been more of a genius for the fact that he got them out of the warehouse undetected.

Also selling them for Less than the retail price "Are you Kidding me!" i'd flip them for $80-$100/£70-£100 if that where me.

Damn I wish I met him before he got arrested lol I would have bought whatever he had and kept one for me and flipped the rest.

He could of easily sold them for $80+ not sure why he sold them for so little considering the game isn't even out yet

This guy had the plug and was only selling PS4 copies for $45? Wtf? Anyone else would have hiked up the price to $100+.

Still curious as to what the traffic stop was about, and who was supplying to him.
