The counterfeiters aren't the ones being punished. They're getting off scott free.
The only thing the counterfeiters are losing is one of the chips they are fabricating. They're fabbing other fakes, they'll move on. And they can always try to push their pile of fake FTDI parts (it's sunk cost, and you can always find a sucker).
FTDI is punishing everyone except the bad guys.
- CountSessine 11y agoThe counterfeiters aren't the ones being punished. They're getting off scott free. Why do you think that? A lot of players in the supply chain are enabling the counterfeiting. It's going to be very difficult for any of them to move inventory on those counterfeit chips.
- st3v3r 11y agoIf you're not able to use the counterfeit chips, then yes, they get punished, because people will stop buying them. And I'm sorry, but I cannot see fit to blame FTDI for not wanting to talk to counterfeit chips.
