If this is a hoax, what kind of repercussions could the perpetrator(s) be subjected to if he/she/they is/are caught?

We're talking about defaming two huge companies here (with more than ample resources to hire a crack legal team)...

Yes, they would most likely be sued for identity theft of some sort. The IP is tracked on each forum so they'd easily be able to get their address.

If it is a joke, the person who posted it sure wasn't thinking right.

They don't need to i don't think, again i'm unsure of the specifics.

---Well, its decided. Since my first Creative card arrived partially DOA. The drivers were horrible. And Creative basically blew me off when i emailed them. I'm getting my money back for my card from Newegg and buying an Auzentec out of spite.

New card : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829156005

I'll have it probably 2-3 weeks but i'll be excited when i get it.

If this is real. Its a very unprofessional way to go about doing things. Also The OP is so unorganized. I think this thread should be locked until, Newegg sends out an official statement. Until then this should not be considered news.
