Guy who found the 4th gen iPhone revealed

Wired is reporting:
As it turns out, the person who sold the iPhone 4G to Giz for $5 grand is just a regular 21 year old dude from Redwood City, California. And his name is Brian Hogan. Though Apple was aware of the perp’s identity even before the Police went a knockin’ on his door, his name remained a mystery until Wired was able to deduce that Hogan, pictured above, was indeed the the catalyst behind what was arguably the biggest gadget scoop in history.
The person who found the phone “is very definitely one of the people who is being looked at as a suspect in theft,” San Mateo County Chief Deputy District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe told Wired.com Wednesday. “Assuming there’s ultimately a crime here. That’s what we’re still gauging, is this a crime, is it a theft?”
He’s already got a lawyer…good idea.

Haha, from Gizmodo to Wired. I bet they only found him to gain the added publicity.
