It had a huge repercussion here in Brazil, and I can say it's not political.
Some technology companies here creates some kind of "workaround" to go away
from the high import duties, one of them is that the tax for software is far
below the one for hardware, so let's import all equipment declaring it costs
1 dollar for hardware and the remaining as software. The problem is that
either Cisco or their distributor here made a ex-employee not happy... you
know... angry ex-employee, ex-wife, ex-secretary are always the beginning of
a scandalous :)
This person gave all details to the Federal Police, the Brazilian FBI.
Well, since yesterday, all Cisco offices were closed here... everybody
working from home. Let's see what's next.
Cheers,
