Is this story a year old?
I remember something similar being posted last year. :unsure:

I thought that too, but that must have been a different case. From what I can find, this one just came to light a day or two ago.

I remember the older one as well. Them goofy Chinese...

The story I remember was an asian boy selling a body part to buy an ipad.
