- rdtsc 9y agoNumber 1 based on plausibility is refrigerant management. I have a story about that. Someone I knew in Eastern Europe working with large refrigeration equipment hoarded the bad kind of Freon knowing it would go up in price as the supplies dwindle. Then they charged an increasingly high price for it on the black market. Eventually equipment that uses that king of refrigerant will break down beyond repair but that might take a while. Industrial equipment like that often built reliably and is pretty maintainable. This is just one individual business owner. I am sure there are more. So officially on paper it might look it's all good and "we've eliminate CFCs" but with corruption mixed in things are not that simple.
- yardie 9y agoGuys like the one you describe are a rounding error in modern industrial refrigeration. Like a major company may use him they transition to modern equipment but at the scale they need he would raise all sorts of red flags not just in government regulators but insurance and investors doing their diligence. They are going to want to know why an expensive line item is going out. TLDR; you're friends business model doesn't scale and relies on very unique edge cases.
