Hykem got raided

[Subtle Demise]

It's not in some countries but every country in Europe. It's an European law that if you can't afford one you can get one for free. Sony and other big companies usually don't bother trying to sue someone here in Europe since laws here are totally different and big companies usually lose here. LOL i remember Sony going to court trying to change the warranty here in Europe from 2 years to 1 year instead and they lost miserably !

That law only applies to criminal court though. If this is really about a softmod, it would be a civil matter.

Seeing that you're from the US. Don't think we have a difference between criminal court or civil matters.

In that case, sucks for us lol

On that point, people think hykem hasn't done anything but destruction of evidence is a crime in a lot of places.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think it is only if it is evidence not involving you. There's also that of "you can't declare against yourself", which is the reason judges can ask you for your passwords, but you don't have to tell them. Also, how do you prove someone has destroyed evidence, if evidence is completely destroyed?

From what I heard (don't fully count me in on this one tho) he got raided BECAUSE his info was posted online and apparently someone was mad enough at him to call the FBI or something...

As I said, THIS IS NOT A MYSELF CONFIRMED INFORMATION HERE RIGHT NOW, only something I heard a few times now!

if he did get "swatted," the individual making a false claim could face some serious prison time. but it seems strange he would have been given advance notice.
hopefully it's not all that serious, but if he needs legal help in the near future, maybe getting in touch with the EFF would help. people could also set up a fund if needed. i would donate based on the fact he never really released anything, never agreed to any nintendo terms of usage because the console was donated

Hmm...9 pages worth of text, but when you boil it all down, very little is actually known of the situation.

From what I gather, Hykem got a call from a detective to confirm his address. This caused him to destroy his data. The next day he gets raided, but not arrested. He calls Crediar to tell all this. As such, we know of this.



...and that's pretty much it. Of course, with this being gbatemp, speculation rates are over 9000. I can throw in my own 2 cents, but I don't see how that helps. I can but hope things turn out okay.

Why the fuck would a fucking detective first call him, I'd be the fuck gone from my home by the next day for a year straight if this happens to me.
This was either the raider asking if this was the right address or something...

I hope we was able to create a random cloud account and saved all of his work on it... or there will never be a kernel exploit

 

[Zeroy]

Hello here FBI we come to you tomorrow and raid you.
Sorry but I think thats will never happen.

When there is a complain filed against you the police will call you to come to the nearest police station to give a statement or if you are unable to do so they will visit you to get the statement.
But they dont raid you for a complain except if its for a criminal case, and in that case they certainly dont call you. Also they need a court order and if they have enough cause to confiscate property then they will also arrest you and file charges.
I wonder if Hykem got the call panicked deleted everything, police came took the statement and left, and instead of telling everyone he deleted everything for no reason and face the shitstorm he made up the raid staff.

erm, did you mean IOSU exploit?

IOSU and kernel are two different things. There are already several 5.5 kernel exploits that've been developed by several other users, and are waiting to be released very soon, I hope...

Not if @Marionumber1 @NWPlayer123 or someone else releases the 5.5 kernal exploit now that IOSU might not have a chance of being launched at all...

correct IOSU

 

[KytuzuEX]

Get Phoenix Wright to make speculations! XD

But I see no evidence whatsoever!

 

[SuzieJoeBob]

Does "swatting" count as being raided? That might mean that CoD for the Wii U is the new Twilight Princess!!!!

Do you think Hykem will still release it after what happened, LOL

His life, family, etc are much more priority then iosu

Exactly, so all hope is lost. There is only... despair.

I wish those who raided hykem house,and took all his stuff, WD release the details of the vermin who grassed him up. Anonymously of course. Just slip it into one of the multitude of sites. Who WD know what to with that information.

 

[DiscostewSM]

It's sad if this is true. I mean, people have gotten raided because some person on the internet lost in a online match to them in a stupid video game.

 

[aracom]

I think it's no secret that there are devs who already have hykems work, at least members of his team like MN1.
I could be wrong though.
