ApERAI special report A TIME FOR CHANGE The Not So Hidden Truth behind the Chinese Open Market.Įveryone has known since 2001 China was very dangerous. Responsible companies either never purchased from China or stopped back it 2001. The Anti-Competition Club members know that US Chinese List Brokers are being watched and showing up on multiple victims list is getting embarrassing so they have moved on to Canadian and European Chinese List Brokers. They are the go to Brokers when you know you can't go to China you get someone else to do it for you. There is hundreds of what we call Chinese List Brokers. These Anti-Competition Clubs use lots of tricks to disguise what they are doing.Įveryone in the business of Independent Distribution knew exactly what JFBK, JJ Electronics, MVP et al and Vision Tech was doing. Sometimes they are in the same building just different office suite. In my opinion if there is an overlap in ownership and employees it's the same company. You might not see a club member on the list because they do their shady buying under one of their other company names. They have the same employees and ownership. It's just manipulated, by companies who belong to these clubs. “One must wonder which defense contractor, medical device manufacturer or other manufacturing sector received from VisionTech counterfeit integrated circuits ‘refurbed’ by a child,” the memo cautions. In the memo, the government admits that “there is no way to know where those have ended up.” It goes on to describe a disturbing photo found during the investigation of a young boy, believed to be Wren’s son, seated at a work table equipped with tools for “refurbishing,” including a toothbrush, an eraser, and Armor All (presumably to make the parts look clean and shiny). Some 42 percent of MDA contractors are Tier 4 or lower suppliers, notes Schipp. Small suppliers, in particular, still don’t believe they could possibly get a counterfeit or that if they do it would be easily detected and replaced. MDA has issued an advisory to determine potential usage of VisionTech parts either directly or indirectly by its suppliers. The list of domestic VisionTech customers includes 84 percent of members of the Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) and 44 percent of the members of ERAI, says Schipp. In this case, it was counterfeit memory chips in computers for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missiles.) (The MDA was one of the government agencies found by the Senate Armed Service investigation to have included counterfeit components in a missile system. “The chance that you had somebody on your approved supplier list that did buy from VisionTech is probably 100 percent,” according to Fred Schipp, an electrical engineer within the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Quality and Safety Organization’s Part and Materials Advisory Group, who spoke on a panel at a conference on counterfeit electronics this summer. “A downstream buyer would not likely know that parts it acquired or systems it acquired from an intermediary source contained counterfeit devices that were imported and sold by VisionTech,” said the memo.
