What would the white-hat use case for this be?
Do they try to sell to people who they know won't check if the device has Activation Lock and then disappear when the buyer discovers it doesn't work?
I know someone who fell for this. Even though they were skeptical when they received the message, they thought there was a chance it was legit, and therefore gave them some change to recover their stolen phone. I guess they had nothing to lose, as the chance of recovering the phone was ~zero anyway.
Can't you just patch out the check with the checkra1n bootloader exploit?
Similar to how self-defense training doesn't necessarily make you a skilled fighter, but instead trains you to be more aware of your situations, and there for reduce the likelihood you will need to defend yourself.

I initially thought this might be used to hack into phones via the lightening or USB ports, but the security on these devices is pretty good. It seems less likely that an exploit of this value would be put into cables like this. I still worry about plugging my phone into random hotel or transport USB charge ports however... I should pick up a USB condom I guess!
