A man from Terre Haute, Indiana has been charged with theft and “offense against intellectual property” after being caught selling PS4 copies of the unreleased Call of Duty: WW2 that it’s claimed were stolen from a Sony factory.

Terre Haute is the location of one of Sony’s DADC facilities, where the company produces its CD, DVD and Blu-Ray discs. And it’s where Dshaye Towles, WTHITV reports, was arrested following a traffic stop.

It’s alleged that the man had been selling the games for just $45 on eBay, and that they were part of a load of discs stolen earlier this month that also included copies of Madden 18.

Neither Sony or local authorities have been able to determine how Towles was able to obtain the games, since there’s no record of him working at the DADC facility.

Really how dumb can you be.

If he was clever enough to obtain them you’d think he’d be clever enough to fence them. Who sells shit on eBay that is obvious he has no business possessing in the first place?

Should of waited till they were about to be released to try and unload them online.

Theft isn't necessarily something that requires a criminal mastermind.

I also find it astounding he was only moving them for $45. Could have easily gotten $100 a disc if he knew where to make an offer.

I think he probably thought the game had already release considering he was selling them below retail. If he had known it was unreleased he should have marked them up.

World’s dumbest criminal for 15 minutes. He didn’t think this through at all. Glad he got caught though.

There was a man that managed to steal a literal bucket full of gold in a spur of the moment while walking past an armored transport.

Him getting his hands on the disks in now way indicates that he was clever.

What I would find hilarious is if he was the fence, and had bought the games off the actual thief.

He did, I believe he lasted 3-5 days from what I recall.

I can't remember the exact dates but i remember being fairly impressed with how long he managed considering how many people were looking for him.

I'm still wondering how the hell he was ID'd with such a low-res blurry video.
