Chinese Prisoners Counterfeiting Playstation 2

Sony's investigation into Chinese piracy uncovered 10 sub-contractors who used Chinese prisoners to make counterfeit Playstation 2 consoles, controllers, and mod chips. These pirates had capacity of 50,000 units a day and sold their wares world-wide. This kind of makes you worry about buying any PS2 hardware from sites like eBay, especially if the seller is from Hong Kong.
