Is there a phone number associated with the account? How does GitHub want you to prove that you're you?

This hits me hard. So you went to prison, and the person you trusted the most... turned out not to be trustworthy. Please hang in there and hope you meet (or have met already?) people you can rely on!
I'm very grateful for the many people in my life I can absolutely rely on.
Seems like you could present this evidence to the police for an identity theft charge against the "wrong person." Or you could threaten to do so, and perhaps regain your property.
Except, read the comment again - Josh changed the account so that it referenced the other persons phone number. They did not steal his phone, and it could be framed that he gave them the account.
Accusing somebody of theft? Perhaps the police would side with the non-felon..
There's no dispute that he provided his telephone number, the dispute would be over the ownership of the GitHub account, which is a separate item, and perhaps still registered in his name. Without additional details, we're both guessing.
There is, but it's not a phone number I have access to anymore. I changed it to the said person's phone number before I surrendered so that this exact scenario did not happen. I trusted the wrong person.
