CES 2016: Crazy Moment as US Marshals Raid Chinese Hoverboard Booth

CES 2016 had an awkward moment of sorts when U.S. Marshals stormed the convention hall in pursuit of a Chinese hoverboard booth. Once arriving at the booth, they began tearing down ads, collecting boards, and deconstructing the booth. The whole thing resulted from a several week long effort from Future Motion, an American-based company that developed the "One Wheel" several months ago. The company that was raided supposedly stole the patent and made their own cheaper copy.

The whole thing is a trip to watch, and that One Wheel looks pretty cool. At least they aren't calling it a hoverboard.

I really was unaware that U.S. Marshals had any jurisdiction outside of airplanes, so this was cool to watch!
