> The fact that we choose to blame broke students instead of the multinational corporation that uses child labor for almost everything is kinda telling

Broke students, who, seemingly managed to buy 3000+ Apple phones and return them? That's some terrible luck they had :-)

It's amazing we do any business with China (or any country not a strong proponent of western values) and in this case it's Foxconn. The makers of: BlackBerry, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Kindle, Nintendo 3DS, Nokia devices, Xiaomi devices, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the TR4 CPU socket on some motherboards. Just curious if you actively shun anyone who uses these products?

It is wrong to blame 2 individuals who returned 3000 fake phone in what it's an illegal scam plain and simple?

What's the alternative? Praise them as modern day Robin Hoods?

There are correct ways to deal with multinational corporations and any abuses you believe they are committing - in this case Apple was (probably, the article is terrible) the victim and should have recompense... separately they should be paying back taxes on all that revenue they sheltered by putting stickers on computers in bermuda. And before the what-about-ists get in, so should every other company as well.
