JJ is updating the wiki, so I suppose he is using incoming referral links to figure out who's sending traffic.

Is there anyone else who can confirm that google shut down their account just by being associated with a account which ordered the phones even though that account did not?

"More than 200 Pixel phones shipped by buyers to a dealer in New Hampshire have been bricked by Google." Catchy but not true, I don't think the phones themselves had any issues.

As far as we know? Unless you have heard reports from the buyer....

+1 if this thing blows up, (which is the intended goal here), then dealer will find himself in the news anyway

Maybe they want this to blow up to get to the dealer...  ??? ???

I'm pretty sure they have his shipping address. Not sure Google would need more than that to find someone.
I'm not who you think I am.

I'm not sure.
They really wanted to speak with the dealer, but I'm not sure if that's gonna happen either.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Pressure is building on Google.
I'd bet they will do the right thing and release accounts that weren't just made for this promo.
