homesweethomeMrL,

Why is the actual reason the FTC is not pleased nowhere to be found in the article headline, but the one reason the FTC doesn’t give a shit about is?

Rozz,

Why wouldn’t they actually just make it N95 level filtration. Wouldn’t be that much more.

The manufacturing company needs National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) certification for that.

TropicalDingdong,

I still think it was cyberpunk af

quindraco,

The penalty was only $100,000, which is so small you can count on Razer pulling a similar stunt in the future, so no worries, you’ll get more fraudulently labelled cyberpunk gear.

TropicalDingdong,

What’s more cyber punk than a billion dollar company selling fake lifesaving equipment for profit, while breaking/ ignoring/ bribing their way past the law?

Fiivemacs,

Why don’t people go to jail for fraud anymore?

Because political bribery is legal.

WOAH there, you can just use words like “bribery”

You have to disguise it.

With a nice neutral word like “lobbying”.

It’s about to get even worse. There is an upcoming Supreme Court case in the US that will weaken anti-corruption laws even more.

The case in question: www.supremecourt.gov/docket/…/23-108.html

FiniteBanjo,

Bankman-Fried got prison time equivalent to murder over his Fraud.

Manish Lachwani got 18 months just a little bit ago.

It still happens.

25 years for stealing 11 billions, I don’t think it’s nowhere enough. How many people died as a result of his theft? How is that different from pointing a gun and shooting someone?

FiniteBanjo,

He stole from rich people, mostly, so they probably weren’t all that negatively impacted.

Except for the people that committed suicide because of financial ruin and those that were left homeless. Those rich people will recover at least part of what they lost via bankruptcy trustees from the seized assets.

FiniteBanjo,

I haven’t heard of those people, please educate me.

Read the victim impact statements from the sentencing. Since it was a federal trial, there are no recordings of it, but various media outlets reported different pieces.
