As DDR5 RAM prices surged, Samsung employees allegedly took bribes from desperate customers

Companies willing to cross ethical lines can still purchase memory at reasonable prices. A new report exposes Samsung workers who may have accepted kickbacks from anxious distributors. As the memory shortage escalates, AI data centers are depleting most of the DRAM supply.

With DRAM stockpiles low, Samsung and other major manufacturers are prioritizing AI data centers. As enterprise-level demand skyrockets, DDR5 prices are at record highs. Some analysts don't anticipate lower costs until 2028 or later. As a result, any party that can acquire the memory stands to make enormous profits.

Not surprisingly, Samsung has hesitated to comment on the report. Still, DigiTimes believes the chip giant has recently interviewed multiple employees based in Taiwan. It's suspected that even "senior management level" workers broke internal policy. The controversy may also extend beyond Taiwan, including dealings in Singapore and China.

I hope these Chinese ram sticks come soon. Samsung and the others can fuck off.

How much memory can fit into a shaving cream can? Like Jurassic Park?

Pinching off of the product. Samsung need some armed enforcers at the warehouses.
