A few days ago, George Hotz, the hacker famous for creating the first working PlayStation 3 crack, asked for donations to help cover the fees needed to hire a first class team of attorneys to help him win his legal battle against Sony. Two days later, he announced that he has reached his donations goal of $10,000 for the first round.
Today, Everything HQ website quoted "sources close to the matter" who claimed that the donations target was reached in such a short period only due to a hefty donation made by Microsoft.
Needless to say, this news haven't been confirmed by Microsoft nor by George Hotz himself.
