| since diamonds are often illegal to use for bringing wealth from one country to another, i guess technology is the next best thing. buy 300 FX55s in zimbabwe off some crook, bring them to australia, sell them to another crook at half the price you bought them for... pocket 150,000AU$ that you would otherwise have left back at home... people are doing it, sooo..... just how genuine are FX55s you bought in bulk off some dude at a street corner in Harare?
just my complete speculation but we do know that people are smuggling high end chips as a means to bring their money to their new home, and this would be the perfect way for these idiots to flog off bulk remarked cpus.
Sounds like a good way to get them into circulation.
