When it comes to high performance gaming peripherals, you know that with the name Razer in tow, you will not b able to go wrong. Well, Razer does not only offer an efficient outlook where gaming hardware is concerned, they are also interested in ensuring that nothing counterfeit or fake hits the market that might tarnish the good name and reputation that Razer has built up over the years. We have learned that Razer did work alongside the police in busting a counterfeit ring over in China.
As a result of this bust, a couple of men were arrested as they were caught red handed for selling counterfeit Razer products online in China. The result of this bust? Haikui Lin and Ping Gong, the criminals under the spotlight here, were each sent to a year in the slammer. Oh yeah, they too, had to pay a fine of 140,000RMB, in addition to another 150,000RMB fine which will be paid to Razer.
Min-Liang Tan, Razer Co-Founder and CEO, “Counterfeit goods put a huge toll on innovation and growth across many industries worldwide. By investing in bringing down these operations, Razer hopes to set an example that this kind of criminal activity will not be tolerated.” Best to always purchase stuff online from legit and official sources! You know what they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. [Press Release]
