Here's a good one for you guys.

I met a fellow a year ago that imported 5 large shipping containers of LCD/LED 55 inch Televisions in from China.
He spent almost a million dollars and was going to triple his money.
Problem was, when Aust Customs took a peak at his containers just on a random check, it was decided to "confiscate" half a dozen TV,s to test them out (yes Customs Agents were stealing some).

The problem began a day later when one of the TV,s started to smoke whilst being turned on.
Soon it was apparent the TV,s may ALL have a problem.

The containers were checked again, not cleared and we're all poorly built.
They looked amazing before and after being turned on, but they all had the same small design fault.

The entire million dollars of 55 inch TV,s were sent to the recyclers.
The importer lost a million dollars.

That's what happens when you don't have electronics and electrical experience.
The importer lost everything.

Thankyou for Flying China Airlines.
He should have gone to Japan or Korea with his million bux.
