These fakes have been going for years and were just scams, nothing to do with bots.

A classic back in the day was an Xbox box.

The Microsoft Xbox was a scam? Moon landing too?

This hurts search results for scalpers selling, too. Good stuff.

It’s the biggest generational uplift in the last 10 years. Not sure what you’re smoking.

it’s a 30% uplift for 30% more power budget and 30% more cost. the fact that they added a new version of frame gen etc that has both up and down sides is pretty much a wash

Money laundering?

I do t think so, I’m not an expert or anything, but I think money laundering is typically done where you can pay cash.

The idea is to pay cash for something so that you can show a receipt of a sale and deposit it into a bank.

If you are buying online, then the money is already in the bank.

The sellers, friend. They buy the GPU cash and sell it online for a clean transaction into their account. 5k laundered per sale

Why the fuck are they standing in line waiting for one?

Consumerism really fucked up our brains.

I dunno but it’s a good time to capitalize on that eagerness and buy a used 4090 from one of them
