500 iPad 2s seized from the grey market of Hong Kong… the story continues. 24 people were arrested for alleged bribery in relation to the sale of iPad 2, including 13 members of staff from branches of Hong Kong-based electronics-chain Fortress, and 11 so-called parallel traders who buy goods in Hong Kong to sell for profit over the border in China. What really happened to these people is that the staff of the electronics chain are suspected of accepting bribes from the traders in return for revealing the arrival time and date of the next batch of stock for the iPad 2 and helping them purchase large quantities. Right now, Apple is notably concerned about the matter, and Fortress is on the brink of losing their license to sell Apple products. News report after the break.

A 17-year-old kid, named Zheng from China, wanted an original iPad 2 desperately, but he is poor. “Fortunately”, he met an organ buyer organization online and received a message from the organization telling him that if he were to sell his kidney, he could get 20,000 yuan (about $3,000) plus some bonus. So he traded his kidney for an iPad 2, and got an iPhone at the same time. He was happy, but now regrets it. News report after the break.
