FBI agents recently raided at an apartment at University Towers in Ann Arbor as they investigate potentially fraudulent sales or purchases of virtual currency that people use to advance in the popular online role-playing game World of Warcraft, records show.
No arrests have been made, FBI Special Agent Sandra Berchtold, a bureau spokeswoman in Detroit, said Wednesday.
Berchtold said she could not comment further on the March 30 raid because many documents in the case remain sealed.
The apartment is home to two men, a sophomore and a junior at the University of Michigan. The sophomore, who was there during the raid, told AnnArbor.com that he thinks the FBI has the wrong people and he and his roommate don't play World of Warcraft, known as WOW.
