The day before a detective called to confirm the address, that's when hykem who already used encrypted HDDs wiped all this stuff.
So whatever they are looking for won't be there anymore.
Would someone who understands the law a lot more than I do explain why this is done?
I mean, why would you call someone to confirm an address when the person who was called could just turn around and warn the suspect that the authorities are on their way? It makes it so easy to rid of evidence that is being searched for.

his source is his own testimony. hearsay would be if someone, like myself, was told something i did not witness personally, and tried to enter that as evidence.
I see, Well I'm still skeptical at least until actual court documents or a more creditable source like a News source or something like that.

Let this be a lesson to people. If you are going to work on something, don't keep posting publicly about it months before you intend to release anything. That just makes you a target for something like this to happen.

Finish it up and get it out all at once or anonymously with little to no warning ahead of time.

Well in the USA at least, I don't know about antartica. That doesn't happen. They have to build a case on you. They follow you around they know your every move they watch you every day get to know who you associate with what your daily routine is. Gather up any evidence they can to get a warrant and then they barge threw your door and throw you on the ground.

I don't believe for one second that he got raided because of his IOSU stuff. If Nintendo wanted to go after somebody, I reckon smea and friends would be first targets. He probably had some other stuff going around that ain't nobody's business.

Smea and co never released any keys, they just make new payloads and advise how tp preserve homebrew.

Sony DID go after george hotz for releasing keys.... so there's that. Hopefully Nintendo isn't going the way Sony went since hykem released some keys recently.

of course this is all speculation though.

I'm not interested in IOSU or anything related, i'm interested about the guy. Hope that Hykem is good.

Well.... Maybe an early April Fool? :D

crediar obviously is a trusted source and this would explain why hykem has basically disappeared from the net.

pretty crazy, reminds of the graf_chokolo stuff from the ps3 days. i do kinda blame it on the dev...shut up and release your work pretty much, don't gloat. also reminds me of the kongznutz thing with NSMB.

people want attention sometimes for the weirdest things...if you are going to be a l33t h@ckorzzz then do it right, newfag.

If this ends up being true...Nintendo would be fools to have something like this public. I would NEVER buy anything Nintendo related EVERY again.

Looking around my house with 2 kids, 1 NES, 1 SNES, 1 N64, 2 Micros, 1 gba, 1 sp, 1 o3ds ($250) 2 o3dsxl, 2 N3ds, 2 Wii, 2 WiiU, and countless games on all consoles! getting the picture Nintendo?

I can't fucking stand big companies going after people.... trying to intimidate them.

Hopefully people will understand this post....this is mainly for Nintendo!

I do agree. It's hard to believe something like this happening over IOSU.

Not true.
You would actually be shocked if you only knew.
Even with programs as simple as foremost file carver you can recover many things even after zeroing and fully formatting. The only way to fully wipe a drive would be to incinerate the drive leaving nothing but ash.
And with most drives as long as you have the computer it came from getting encryption keys is fully achievable.

Anyway, this thread isn't about arguing over encrypted drives. So, say what you will I am leaving this argument after this post.
