PCMagazine reports that the police, under authority of a warrant, broke into Jason Chen's house and proceeded to confiscate his computer and technology gadgets.

Jason Chen had posted about a week ago regarding the leak of a real iPhone 4.0 prototype which he paid a sum of $5000 USD to acquire and be the first to uncover on gizmodo.

I know this much for sure:

1. The iPhone 4 prototype was real - there was sufficient evidence for this, but this pushes it beyond any reasonable doubt what-so-ever.

2. Apple is making an example of the whole ordeal. It takes its leaks very seriously.
