Re: [TCML] The bigger they are...

[Davetracer@xxxxxxx]

I am very sorry to hear about this. I only watched all the  way through the 
opening ceremonies ("And now the team from the Cayman  Islands ... and now the 
team from Vanuatu ... and now the team from  Guam...") to see your Tesla Coil !
 
I worked at a "Technology Incubator" that was funded by a guy from China.  We 
designed a chip. One day, we got notice that our jobs were gone. It was  
rolled up and -gone-. A year or so later, our old Web page, now in both Chinese  
and English, appeared back on the Internet, based in a Chinese industrial park. 
 Strangely, they're selling that chip...

Upon  arrival, the Shenzhen Customs and Inspections Bureau seized both 
containers  and trucks claiming that kVA Effects falsified international shipping  
documents as the shipment had originated from Hamburg Germany and not the  
United States of America as indicated. Furthermore, the Inspections Bureau  
claimed that the shipment consisted of used equipment in violation of Chinese  law 
and the contract with OCT East.

kVA Effects responded by providing  the Inspection Bureau with five hundred 
construction photographs, one hundred  and two hours of construction video, 
copies of material receipts and signed  affidavits from kVA Effects personnel and 
vendors to verify that the equipment  is new. kVA Effects also informed the 
Inspection Bureau that the name of the  cargo vessel that carried the 
containers to China is named "Hamburg" and that  they found it curious how Chinese 
Officials could make such a mistake on an  official Chinese form in Chinese.

In late July, the Inspections Bureau  released the Tesla Coil parts to OCT 
East. OCT East is demanding payment of  the fines from kVA Effects counter to 
its contract with them.

As of  Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics, OCT East has the merchandise and 
kVA  Effects will watch the games from home.
