    Normally, when trading in devices like this, part of the documentation required states clearly that the device has been factory restored and all data is deleted, requiring the person to sign in agreement.

    This would put them squarely at fault if they signed “Yes” even if it wasn’t, and if they didn’t know what it meant, they should ask. Like any other contract.

    If there is a contract, and they did sign it, then there is no trust violated. And then there would have been safeguards there that were just ignored.

    This doesn’t mean the person who took the images was a good person, but it isn’t as simple as you seem to make it appear
