Weeks before the video of Miley Cyrus smoking out of a bong was leaked onto the Internet, Miley’s people attempted to cover up the incident.

TMZ is reporting that the Cyrus camp tried to do damage control by swapping out MacBooks among college kids who were present at the time.

An unknown man, assumed to be working for Miley Cyrus, visited San Luis Obispo to exchange computers with at least two separate students, but clearly the Cyrus rep didn’t manage to snatch up all the copies of the video. (These things have a way of getting around.)
