Many believed at first that the video was somehow obtained by the same hackers that recently broke into Paris Hilton's T-Mobile Sidekick, but Durst told MTV that the video was stolen by "Somebody that was repairing" his computer that "was smart enough to go through anything he could [and found the movie]."
Although the leaked online video includes a banner proclaiming "T-Mobile Terrorist," Durst said that there is no way it could have come from his PDA. "If you look on Paris' thing, I don't use T-Mobile," Durst told MTV on Friday.
Durst told MTV that he has previously been contacted about officially releasing the video footage but said that he turn them down. A publicist told MTV that he has been negotiating the release of the tape with Durst and the thieves since October when they first contacted him about it.
The Phoenix based publicist, David Hans Schmidt, told MTV that he was close to closing a deal when the online leak came, along with the publishing of his home telephone number. He said that "Government agencies are meeting with me this weekend."
