Arrested recently for selling early dev kits of XB1, and unveiling parts of the system last year

Now SuperDAE is out on bail, and reports claim his freedom was fast, because of his 'deadman switch' on a FTP vault of secrets regarding Microsoft's new XBOX ONE console

We have all read the stories about SuperDAE trying last year to sell off a couple of Durango dev kits, the early models of the XB1, and then later on spilling out a ton of information regarding the 'insides' like 'specs' of number of cores, size of ram, long before Microsoft had their big event, and because of that, Microsoft was hunting SuperDAE down, and even raided him, and now recently arrested him, but this is weird the story turns weird, it seems SuperDAE has an deadman switch on his FTP server, and if he is not given a free pass, all of Microsoft's secrets regarding the XB1 will spill out into the massive world of the 'net, forever out there for fellow hackers and users.

Two NextBox Dev kits were listed on ebay by DaE (Real Name: Dan Henry) which subsequently had the police arrest him today. What police did not know about Henry was that he set up what people are calling a "deadman's switch" in his personal FTP Sever to leak every single secret about the XBOX One that has been collected for the past 3 years. These secrets are obviously important enough to keep hidden if they were willing to grant Henry bail earlier today. For those that are wondering about this "deadman's swtch", what this essentially means is that if Henry is not at his PC by a certain time, unspecified as of right now, his twitter account will give out the password and username to his FTP to grant everyone and anyone access to these leaked secrets. "A gaming journalists dream" as he puts it.

So, scene ONE is now finished, Henry (aka) DaE is now on bail (step 1 to being a free man), but will Microsoft play hardball and throw him to lions of the court for Justice even though he gave the local police and FBI an ultimatum, either let all this XBOX ONE information leak totally, or let him become a free man with no charges.

Stay tuned for the next scene of 'THE HOSTAGE' playing now in an American Corporate Boardroom, and coming soon to your 'net!
