Ummmm, anons ….
I'm sure that I'm not the only anon who has read and noticed, but thought that I'd post anyway, just in case.
Q’s Supermicro story:
A major U.S. telecommunications company discovered manipulated hardware from Super Micro Computer Inc. in its network and removed it in August, fresh evidence of tampering in China of critical technology components bound for the U.S., according to a security expert working for the telecom company.
The security expert, .’’’Yossi Appleboum ….. Appleboum previously worked in the technology unit of the Israeli Army Intelligence Corps’’’ and is now co-chief executive officer of Sepio Systems in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
‘’’Sepio Systems' board includes Chairman Tamir Pardo, former director of the Israeli Mossad’’’, the national defense agency of Israel, and its advisory board includes Robert Bigman, former chief information security officer of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

Anybody else smell a setup?
Supermicro's competitors in the server market include: Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, Silicon Graphics, Network Appliance, Cray
Do any of these competitors (who stand to gain some/part of the $2 billion business if Supermicro goes under) have ties to Bloomberg?
Does anybody trust fucking lefty Bloomberg's publication to be straight on a story like this?
