Earlier today- before the bridge info came out- lots of us were speculating on another thread what the possible reasons could be for a purchase of this size(s). And there does seem to be some evidence based on other reports that reselling these phones at a hefty profit IS one way of raising ca$h for ...any number of reasons.
HOWEVER! They can also be used to make IED's...cover communication trails....has this poster been made aware of the bridge involvement?
For example here is his first post

So they buy em for $20 sell them for $38 out of the back of thier van perhaps with the implication that they are hot and don't disclose that they are only good for 40 minutes of airtime.
They sound like dishonest business men but not terrorists.
And it just goes downhill from there.
