"Tonight's main story is the round up over thirty individuals in what is being called a trademark infringement syndicate. Late last night, Nova Star Police Corp was called in to assist a team of Acuplex Security agents. Discovered there was illegal tech, which the Board of Directors of Green Fairy Entertainment released a statement saying that the tech was based on proprietary hardware and software used in many of their simsense experiences. No reports of how or why Acuplex called in Nova Star, only that in total, fifty people were taken into custody and thirty of them are considered suspect in the industrial espionage. The illegal tech and suspects are current in custody of Nova Star while a full investigation takes place. Green Fairy had made strong moves to get the tech back, but the Commandant of Nova Star Police Corp, Colton De Santis said, 'There is still a law in BoWash, despite what other corporations think, and we have the contract."
"While the Commandant's words may bring some solace of justice to some, there is truth being repressed even by the bastion of justice. We here at PEN learned that most of the suspects are all lower class citizens of the Beltwall. Almost no cyberware on them, even the cheap street junk, because they are actually that poor. That's right, the poor still exist. I know it hard to see them three hundred stories up in the corporate arcologies and haven districts. So the question is, 'How could they have stolen the tech?' Is Green Fairy so incompetent that their security couldn't stop some poor kids for getting trademarked information out of their secured databases? The same databases that are storing personal information of over two hundred fifty million users. Green Fairy has something to hide, the troubling question is what it is."
