Ballsy Teen Who Sold His Own Authentic White iPhones Earns 0,000 (And Possible Jail Time)

Ok, this is the story of a New York teen who contacted guys oversees at Foxconn and had them send him the iPhone 4 White parts that he could sell as upgrade kits.  He has made about $130K doing this.  He recently received a nasty legal letter stating how he is selling stolen property.  Who would send that?  Well the kid lawyered up and is going to see if he can keep his profits.  He wants to go to college.  You would think colleges out there would consider this a little enterprising and give him a scholarship.  Never know.

What is funny is that I look back at my teenage years, and they just don’t compare.  All I was doing was going to school and watching TV, not starting an international iPhone ring.

Well, you have now wonder with all those Foxconn suicides if a couple are not real and are just used as an excuse to get rid of someone caught stealing parts to sell.
