'Breach' game code theft at PAX East ends in arrest

An attempted theft of Atomic Games' Breach code on the PAX East show floor on the last day of the event was thwarted by vigilant members of the studio. According to a representative for the company, the suspected thief managed to download some of the code and then run into the crowd after he was spotted. He was eventually apprehended in the large crowd and the game's code was found on his computer.

***May told us he spent four hours in jail, and his laptops, modded Xbox 360, modded PSP, modded DS and XMP3 were confiscated by police.***
Not the best things to find on someone who is claiming that he didn't steal the code.

Edit: And the genius jumps bail to go play MW2

Man they should have
Just let the Federal Cybercrime Task force deal with him. Imagine his face when federal agents knock on his door to arrest him for stealing video game code.

Theft! Hax! Daring escapes! Bail jumping! Conspiracy!

Sheesh. It's a blockbuster.

Although the guy sounds pretty dense telling a room full of industry people he illegally downloaded a game.

Daring. If only if someone would do it for Halo Reach, cause millions are dying to see some of that single-player footage select journalists got to see a few months ago.
