How can two iCloud accounts have Find My Mac activated on an iMac?

How can two iCloud accounts have Find My Mac activated on an iMac?

I bought an open box computer from best buy, and a year later someone
else's iCloud account remotely locked and wiped my iMac. How could their
iCloud still be attached to the computer when the hard drive was wiped, I
installed the new OS, and had Find My Mac activated? I've read from a post
(@garry) that a token is saved in nvram, but can two tokens be there?
It almost seems like there is also a server side listing of iCloud/serial
number kept at Apple, which a hard drive wipe wouldn't remove, though I
can't seem to find any information to confirm or deny this.
