A simple check with a magnet was the final clue that made Thermal Grizzly realise it had been hit by a 40,000 euro metal scam

Last month, we reported on how the rapidly increasing cost of copper was potentially going to impact the PC industry, as explained by Thermal Grizzly's Roman 'Der8auer' Hartung. Now he's back again on the subject of copper, but this time highlighting a more alarming and depressing side of the current market: industrial-scale material fraud.

Hartung describes the whole situation in painful detail via his YouTube channel, starting with a breakdown of why Thermal Grizzly needs several tons of copper and aluminium.
