As Kanye West says,

"Harder, better, faster, stronger"

It’s actually Daft Punk.

From Puretime's newsletter:

Closed and probably not opening again: GMF, TBF, NOOB, V6F, V9F, JBF, Green Maker;
Closed and will reopen: AR, JF, VS, XF, VRF, KZF, OXF;
Available for delivery: EW, ZF, GF.

The 1st category is pretty scary

Not opening again meaning permanently closed? What in the world?!

I just got off a lengthy phone call with the owner of the ZF factory Terrence Chang Hong, nice guy, he’s supposedly hiding out in Shanghai until this blows over. The police mean business this time. It’s pretty hairy on the ground. Head of QC was detained and Terrence made it out in a nick of time...!

Wow, Noob gone is "big" news!!

 

[maxracingshox]

I got the rumors confirmed by another dealer.
At the moment it is uncertain if Noob will reopen at all.

price for used noob pandas about to go through the roof!

 

[maxracingshox]

Yup. I ordered one two weeks ago, but that was one or two days too late.

I read this as well, and very sad to hear about Noob and the others not opening. I am sure that in the end they will figure something out to keep pumping out those 4130's, but under a new name (and maybe with some improvements!) TBH not much else was noteable from Noob, but this is a good chance to reinvent themselves.

Thanks for sharing this information.

It’s claimed that Guangzhou chief of police, Ringo Lam, now owns an insane REP collection.

Wasn’t V6F the same group of people from VSF and XF?

I was thinking that V6F = VSF = XF, but it looks like they are not the same group of people.

Yea but Kanye is Kanye tho.

Jokes aside. Was hoping for a bounce back from the factories. Now it's not looking too good.

Thank God I ordered my Noob V4 back in February. This is some crazy new. Phew ZF is still standing. I still want to order my Hulk. What about VSF?

And boatload of bribe money

And boatload of bribe money

After the embarrassing protection racket in 2012, that had been going on for decades , came to an screeching hold, Guangzhou deputy police chief He Jing took the blame.
Mr He Jing unfortunately took too his own life before the trail due to depression. I.e no convictions made.

Brown envelope money have continued uninterrupted for the past 9 years. What have triggered this masses crackdown ? Who knows.

 

[derjenigewelcher]

Maybe VSF is snitching.....?

Many feedbacks show the raids are heavy this time. The rep market grew up big these last years, thus adding many reasons for such police actions.

Still, the market will adapt and newcommers will grow on the gone factories. Maybe it's the dawn of a new era in the hobby, but all in all it's like dope : as long as you have a buyer, you'll have a seller.
