This all looks like the contents were designed to fool x ray scanners. It has the right weight and consistency to look like the genuine product. The company that sold him this should get into trouble, unless it is already a fake enterprise. |

I dont buy Newegg talking about 'demo' products. This clearly looks like a modern and more sophisticated version of a pikey selling a TV/laptop out of the back of his van and doing one before you realise its an empty shell with a few bricks. I'd like to know how they got into and official distribution chain though to the extent that a retailer would sell them on to customers. |
