bought stolen firestick 4K. now what

[Seattleweather]

bought a firstick 4K from CL 2 month ago. I had difficulty to pass the initial setup. Called Amazon and was told the firststick 4k was reported stolen. I gave the phone number where i bought to Amazon, they told me there is an account associate with that number, but the firestick was not purchased from that number. WTF? I got hold with the seller and he insisted that he bought the stick, and would send me the receipt. 3 days later, nothing from him. Called and texted, but nothing.

Here are my questions
(1). What if I report to police. Will they get involved?
(2). Anyway to by pass the initial setup?
(3). Can I root without initial setup? Can I setup after root?

Thanks and happy new year!

Please point me how I can skip initial setup process? I rooted one firestick 4K a while ago. For some reason I kind of remember need to sign in and turn on ADB before rooting.
