While alarming, these kinds of stories usually result in the victim admitting they put their info in a text they received after, saying "We found your iPhone! Log in here, etc. Love from Apple."

The alternative is they somehow bypassed the locks on the backup on iCloud.

Are we supposed to believe a random guy on the internet because...?

Where's the proof of what he's saying? Can it be replicated?

"gringos"?

Who goes to the police station to report a stolen phone? (Bored rich gringos, I guess.) Don't you just file a report online? Police don't even want to see you if someone smashes your car without human injury.

Often hard to do in a foreign country.

But yeah, not sure who bothers to report a stolen phone. I think it’s rather unusual for phone insurances to require a police report.

Why would a thief use Zelle to send money to his ex?

(edit) Nevermind:

> Yea and whatsapped her pretending to be me asking her to send it somewhere else. She played along and thanks to her I now have someone's name, bank account number, and CPF to take to the police.

Since he’s a quite famous guy, maybe the thief knew this and used more sofisticated way to bypass the iPhone security? Or could be simply that the thief knew his passcode?

I wish to have more info before give the culprit to iOS.

OP is CEO at "The easiest way users connect their bank accounts to your app." which seems a bit suspicious as he reports a bunch of account compromises.
