. . A report in today's New York Times sheds a new and extraordinary light on [what happened] . . [it] notes that 'Kroll found that before departing The Telegraph, Mr. Robinson reformatted his iPad, erasing all the data, and cut up the SIM card to his iPhone. "As such it has been impossible to conclude whether there had been incriminating evidence on the devices," Kroll said.' . .
