Wouldn't the thieves be exposing themselves if they did that? Or would they just make a bunch of different accounts to circumvent it?These will end up on ebay in 3...2....1..
Wow.
Wouldn't the thieves be exposing themselves if they did that? Or would they just make a bunch of different accounts to circumvent it?
But then all the seller listings would be from China... plus, there's still shipping and VAT..?

Exactly. These aren't going to end up on Ebay. Who wants to sell over 200 cards on Ebay? This whole shipment will probably get offloaded to one mining operation through the grey market.Probably sold to miners.
Miners.Personally I would assume that if I ever stole a bunch of expensive devices, that are only useful when installed into a connected PC, and that require frequent driver updates to stay useful, that there's a decent chance the manufacturer with knowledge of unique internal component ids would find a way to locate the stolen items as soon as they appeared on the internet, or at the very least brick them. Here's hoping this turns out to be a painful mistake for the thief.

Forbid?You cant . Privacy laws forbids that. and you cant brick anything remotely ... unless the bios allows it. and no one would allow it because it is dangerous for all Cards not only stolen cards.

Forbid?
Like Apple is forbidden to slow down the previous model phone when a new one is released?

The comment was made about privacy laws forbidding a manufacturer from bricking a device.What Apple ? we are talking about the Police trying to find the stolen cards.
