I'm willing to be that the reason why this took so long for Apple to find out is because they don't do proper board level repairs.
This is a very common scam, back when i worked at apple (3 or so years ago now) we had a large group of chinese dudes who would come in all the time under different names with handfuls of phones, all unable to power on. We literally couldn't fault any of them with the scanning processes we'd been given at store level so we had no choice but to swap them over for them.
Considering how apple is so shity with customer service I honestly think that this is on Apple for lying so hard
and so often.
While scamming is shity, these people are scamming a scammer
So they're happy to just replace phones no questions asked, but it I want to get the anti-glare coating replaced on my MacBook Pro Retina because their shoddy manufacturing causes it to rub away I have to buy a whole new unit? Great.
Apple deserved it.
Though the students still deserve some punishment.
"People I don't like deserve to have crimes committed against them."
That reminds me of someone who bought a non-functional graphics card off ebay, went to his local CeX, bought the exact same model then returned the broken one a little while later and sold it at a profit.
