Temu has all of the hallmarks of a "big tent" dark money scheme that rolls in a lot of unseemly business into one constantly-changing target. Big enough to force public awareness of any brand they make up, and obfuscated enough to switch brand names the minute one becomes toxic. It's like a hyper-magnified (possibly government-sponsored) "facebook ad scheme" where they rip off whoever they can and as soon as there's heat, the spin up another website and burn the old profile. Only here, it's a whole new brand, complete with corporate bona fides. Coupled with the reported treatment of specific demographics, there's evidence to suspect a coordinated effort to generate cheap 'knockoff' products (a popular scheme) with slave labor (a common abuse) which are funneled into instant-established brands (the novel addition) to make as much money as possible before the brand has been tarnished, and then swapping the supply chain to a new brand, to obfuscate the malfeasance and absolve themselves of the previous company's responsibilities (the widespread "facebook ad scheme"). So, a billionaire-level version of the bullshit social media scams. And, okay, fine, I'm a conspiracy theorist for not providing any evidence. But nothing I've presumed is implausible, even if it's not true of Temu. So I suppose commenting about it, here, is just a way to express my concern over what we think could be done if someone was out there doing this.
