Sounds plausible, I'm voting for that explanation. Would be easier if Amazon was transparent about the real reason instead of giving a PR reason
In fairness, this is not Amazon support.
And Acer can't realistically say that Amazon is full of crooks/Amazon can't manage stuff.
Why not? If Amazon is facilitating fraud and computer crime by cutting corners on stock management, they should be called out for it by the companies impacted by it.
