Bought this iPad months ago for a present but the old owners account is still attached to the device and I have no contact with them. Is it possible to get the device removed some how or am I screwed and have an expensive paperweight?
Unless you can reach the previous owner to have them remove Activation Lock, you own a nice paperweight. Apple won't help you and we can't help you. The device without their assistance is completely useless.

I’m so excited to use my new paperweight! Thanks for the information friend!
Enjoy it. At least you'll have a very unique paperweight. They also work well as coasters! :-)
