This is the important quote showing that the gift card was not legitimate.
do you think that makes it ok? they walked into a store, tried to pay money to apple and as a result they had their stuff locked forever
apple recommended they only buy gift cards from apple, but they still sell them in stores...
obviously money is more important to them than the consumers but pretending apple have zero responsibility is silly
>they had their stuff locked forever
It was locked for less than a week.
>but they still sell them in stores
Unfortunately there are sketchy resellers that exist too.

What matters is that the purchaser had every reason to think that it was legitimate and they were not the malefactor in this scenario, but they still got banned.
If you buy stolen property without knowing you still get punished by having the stolen property taken away. Just because you don't know, it doesn't mean you have not done anything wrong.
