The complaint is that the units are arriving out of the box with water damage already. Did you read the article?
I did, it says historically, we don't have that confirmed right now. Yes, it might be happening, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions. There are a few reports, it isn't a scandal. (yet)
If it gets confirmed, we could call this scandal Watergate.
Yeah it's definitely not proven, but the allegation is not 'business as usual', which your comment made it sound like.
