Basically, there's no evidence they did anything more than lie to the cops about why they bought the phones.
The judge looked at the evidence the prosecutor had and told him to take a hike.
Of course the local DA is sticking with his claims, he's elected and doesn't want to look stupid for making wild accusations with what looks like no evidence. This was he can look 'tough on terrorism'.
And a lot of people here jumped on the bandwagon with no evidence. Real independent thinkers, a lot of you.
When I see a government spokesman make wild claims about something, I wait and see how it plays out. How many times has the government lied to us, and yet people will just suck it up like mothers milk. You all believe Ronnie Earle's claims about Tom D.? Use the same skepticism here, or is it okay to railroad people with "funny" names?
I suspect the market in reselling prepaid cell phones just took a tumble, anyhow.

Doubt it - there's a thread almost exactly like this from last November -

The FBI knows where they are going, but they have to look at each case brought up just to be sure.
As far as the "false information" BS, if you had a simple idea to make some money, would you blab it to any local yokel cop who decided to give you a hard time ?
