Does anyone actually believe this BULLSH*T?????
Not me!
I understand they threw out the chargers and only kept the phone.
You cannot ship the phone with the battery, so the batteries were removed.
I think the Feds let them go to follow the phones. Unfortunately, they will likely trash can the ones they bought and buy new ones, thinking the feds bugged them...which they probably are doing as we speak.
These phones are making their way to arms dealers and the like who furnish them to their clients. They uses them one day and throw them out or use them for detonators, to prohibit phone traces.
That's what I think......
