An employee of a Japanese delivery company was picked up by the police as he diverted deliveries to generously round off the end of the month.
If the phenomenon of scalping tends to subside given that PS5, Xbox Series X / S and Nintendo Switch OLED restocks are more and more regular, there are still clever little people who take advantage of the shortage to generously round off the ends of the month. And they redouble their ingenuity to get there.
This time it’s a 50-year-old employee of a Japanese delivery company who was “caught by the patrol”, and the process could not be simpler. Indeed, he had found a way to divert deliveries intended for unfortunate customers to inflate his bank account. The targeted loot mainly concerned PS5, Nintendo Switch OLED but also some games, although it is not specified which ones. And hold on tight, this scalper would have sold nearly 200 machines for close to $ 26,000, and the value of the stock he owned reached $ 51,000.
The latter allegedly confessed to the police, stating in particular: “I ran away because I had money problems. I bet almost all the money on horse racing ”. In short, this person seemed locked in an infernal and unhealthy gear where money calls for money. Especially when you are also getting into a sports betting business.
History does not tell us, however, if the unfortunate buyers had their consoles returned.
