So I was reading this crazy article about a dude from New Jersey who got caught by the police trafficking SpaceX Starlink terminals – you know, those fancy satellite dishes that provide internet service. Apparently, the guy was selling them on Facebook Marketplace for a profit, which is pretty bold if you ask me.
Basically, this guy managed to get his hands on a bunch of Starlink terminals and was selling them for a markup. The police caught wind of his little operation and busted him for it. The terminals are not cheap to begin with, so I can see why someone would try to make a quick buck off of them.
It’s wild to think about how advanced technology like Starlink is being used for illegal activities like this. I mean, we’re talking about space-grade internet equipment here. The fact that someone was able to get their hands on so many of these terminals and try to sell them online is pretty alarming.
In the end, it just goes to show that no matter how advanced our technology gets, there will always be people out there trying to take advantage of it for their own gain. It’s a good reminder to always be cautious when buying high-tech gadgets online, you never know where they may have come from.
