Microsoft Denies Involvement in Durango Leaker Raid

Microsoft has said that it "did not initiate" the high-profile FBI investigation of SuperDaE, the person responsible for alleged leaks surrounding the next-generation Xbox.

The anonymous internet tipster, who claimed to be in possession of a Durango development kit, was raided by FBI and Australian police last week. While a lot of reports pointed the finger at Microsoft, the Xbox company has issued a statement vehemently denying any involvement in the case.
