> In an interview with SF Weekly last night, Calderón told us that six badge-wearing visitors came to his home in July to inquire about the phone. Calderón said none of them acknowledged being employed by Apple, and one of them offered him $300, and a promise that the owner of the phone would not press charges, if he would return the device.

I wonder if it was the Apple-associated people who spouted this lie (my guess would be yes).

Individuals (e.g. victims) do not have any say in whether or not a prosecutor charges a suspect with a crime. This is a common misunderstanding - there is no such thing as "pressing charges" if you are not a prosecutor.
