   I read it that the van went to the scrapyard, then the person   
   arrested bought the stuff from the scrapyard separately.   
      
   But "under arrest for money laundering" is what got me. If that's   
   the case then presumably the stuff isn't really from Sega's old   
   offices, but part of some plan to fake the resale of pretend   
   development kits at a huge profit. That's assuming Sega themselves   
   never really got the cops involved, since the article says Sega   
   didn't reply to a request for comment so it's not confirmed.
