hese turds often have small shops in minority neighborhoods. The local crack heads use the disposable phones to conduct "bidness"...

Even your local crack head is going to want the charger. These guys were throwing the chargers away. Now who would want a cell phone without a charger?

"These guys were throwing the chargers away. Now who would want a cell phone without a charger?"

That is the question. If they had plans to return to an ethnic neighborhood and sell these from the trunk of their car why would they open the package and then discard a component such as the charger? The FBI need to be all over this - and if is found that their alibi is true then pass the case on to the IRS for probably not reporting the income. I suspect though these guys were up to no good, and there is a laundry list of bad things these phones pre-paid phones could of been used for from assisting drug runners to collecting the Sim Chips for use on IED here or in Iraq.
