When I read the details of the story, I feel like this isn't meaningfully different from a few years back when there'd be warehouses of DVDs or VHS tapes,and hundreds of duplicators seized along with bags of cash.
The medium change, but the crime appears to have remained essentially the same.
There were two interesting things to me:
1) the email from Kimble to PayPal where he was clearly trying to cut off PayPal to his competitors whilst keeping it for himself; trying to convince PayPal that they shouldn't do business with those other guys.
2) the type of evidence they have makes me wonder if it was an inside job, or perhaps even a setup by a competitor who hacked into their systems. It doesn't feel like a case the FBI would pick up without a strong bootstrap.
