I posted a while back on this forum about an ongoing investigation our firm had into price fixing by some of the biggest capacitors manufacturers. We filed a complaint for Chip-Tech, Ltd. based on our findings this past Friday:

Howdy, new member here.

With the blessing of BadCaps management, I'm posting here. I'm an attorney with the Joseph Saveri Law Firm in San Francisco, and we are investigating price-fixing by the big capacitor manufacturers.

We're looking to see if anyone has noticed any suspicious pricing increases...
