“The evidence includes;multiple hard drives containing several terabytes of information consisting of, among other things, FBI case reports, search warrant applications and results (e.g., Apple iCloud accounts and email accounts), bank and financial records, and the contents of numerous physical devices (e.g., cellular phones, computers, and hard drives),” Polantz reports. “The prosecutors say in the filing Thursday that the FBI seized electronic devices from Stone’s home, apartment and office.”
