Arrest Made In 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' Movie Leak

While the online leak of an early print of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" back in April certainly didn't seem to hurt the film's success at the box office, that doesn't mean there aren't going to be repercussions for those involved — and the FBI made its first arrest in the investigation Wednesday. According to CNET, 47-year-old Gilberto Sanchez was arrested in the Bronx, N.Y., by FBI agents early yesterday morning under suspicion of uploading the unfinished film to a large file-sharing site. The arrest was later confirmed by a spokesperson for the law enforcement agency's Los Angeles field office, which is heading the investigation.
However, the official text of the grand jury indictment targeting Sanchez doesn't address how Sanchez acquired the print of the film, meaning that the source of the leak could still be unknown or under investigation — and that more arrests are likely.
"We're supportive of the FBI's actions," a Fox spokeswoman told CNET. "We will continue to cooperate with law enforcement officials to identify and prosecute those who illegally steal our creative content."
Sanchez could face up to three years in prison if convicted, and a fine that will be the greater of either $250,000 or twice whatever is determined to determined to be the gross profit loss attributed to the crime.
The text of the indictment is posted at CNET.
