They had a search warrant, so either i let them in or they break my door.
And they had right to take all my stuff which i used for PS3 hacking.
I was sued twice, criminal procedure from the state and civil procedure from SONY. I will upload my documents tomorrow i hope.

UPDATE#2

Sony Confirmed That The Graf_Chokolo Raid Did Indeed Happen

Since the news broke yesterday, there are a lot of doubts whether it is actually happened or graf_chokolo stage the entire event. Well for those who felt that way, don’t be, Kotaku has confirmed with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) that the ridiculous police visit and seizure did take place as mentioned before. They unable to give any details further about the raid on our innocent German hacker, graf_chokolo as it is a legal matter.

While Sony Computer Entertainment Europe was unable to provide details on the incident, as it is a legal matter, a spokesman was able to confirm that the police visit and seizure did indeed take place.

It seems Sony is not happy with the long process of using American civil courts to fight off the PS3 hackers, and have decided to step up the war game to the next level, and have now got the German police on their side to raid early this morning graf_chokolo's home and take all his computers!

The following is some of the quotes taken from his blog:

Guys, SONY was today at my home with police and got all my stuff and accounts. So be careful from now on.

Guys, i don’t joke, it’s serious.
And to prove it, i kept my word and uploaded all my HV reversing stuff.
Upload it everywhere so SONY couldn’t remove it easily. Grab it guys, it contains lots of knowledge about HV and HV procs.

IDA database is the documentation, it contains all my knowledge, Linux booting is also there. It contains all the code i used to patch HV 3.41 and boot Linux. So, PS3 devs, grab it and continue my work. It contains just everything i know about HV, storage devices and so on.
