well given the "buyers" also likely made huge money off the scam they kinda are.
I heard about this ages ago, glad to see its been noticed by more mainstream news
you know the thread is three years old right?
it's only been bumped because the guy has been found guilty in court.
edit:
The potential impact from this is quite staggering.
Even more worryingly was that they are still being used in some parts!!!! :/
Good to see proceeds of crime, everything else should be taken from him in restitution.. if only it were possible.

What a muppet...
The buyers are also responsible given that they bought products they knew were fraudulent in order to obtain a financial gain for themselves, without their criminal acts these products would not have made it into the hands of anyone.

I had a good laugh at this one, typical of the industry.
look at the budgets of the security industry, I would say over 50% is golden toilet seats ie back hand deals.

People have been selling things that don't work for decades. Nobody usually cares.
This is obviously different because it involves peoples lives.
Vax carpet cleaners, there's a product which doesn't work!
