discussion Ubiquiti gear is getting to the Russian Military

[gingerbee]

Ubiquiti distributors selling to Russian assets. This is crazy. Does Ubiquiti really know?

They have to be activated against an account to function. I feel like regionally blocking direct access wouldn't be hard.

Thinking about that makes me go, they must know then. Kind of crazy it was this easy to bypass sanctions.

I presume Hunterbrook is just looking to manipulate the market and lower UI's share price. Similar thing that Hindenburg does too. I would always question when these investigations come from investment firms that likely have vested interests.

Possible, very true and question everything, but how do you explain the videos of their products being used on the front line? Even if that is true, it doesn't change the fact that the distribution is willing to break sanctions to sell these products, not to mention they have been caught doing this in the past. They openly talk about that fact and that they are betting on the facts in this story being true, i.e., think they're shorting Ubiquiti stocks, I would bet.

Tinfoil hat engage... Maybe being done intentionally with "special" firmware

distribution isn't that stupid...they would have sold them to a reseller, and they probably sold it to someone that broke sanctions.

There's a rifle mfg here in BC that have their stuff ended up in Russian military too. Starlink, Cybertruck, and all kind of crap that are suppose to be kept out are finding their ways in.

China also didn't stop getting NVIDIA GPUs

Sanctions, embargos, bans... whatever term you want to use... there's no true way of stopping anything!

I could see like Cisco, Arista or Juniper doing something like that, bigger players that would have US government contracts. But yes, very much tinfoil hat lol
