Korean banks sue computer parts retailer Newegg, alleging 'Ponzi scheme'
- nohat 9y ago> Both Newegg and ASI were in on the scheme, the banks say, because Moneual priced the computers that were supposedly ordered at 300 times their actual market value. If true, this does sound pretty bad, though depending on the percentage of the order its possible newegg could claim typo. I do have to wonder why the banks didn't notice this during the loan check. Unless the contents of orders is typically kept secret in loan checks like this?
