Counterfeit

[W3WN]

That's exactly what we see. People buy from electronics brokers because they don't like our leadtime and they get these counterfeit components that we have never touched. Then they want us to fix the problems when they see issues. I have written congresscritters on the topic, but they do nothing.

That's because you forgot to enclose something when you wrote the congressgoniffs. Cash, unmarked, in small non-sequential bills, totalling in the neighborhood of 7 figures.
