Kristal Snider, Mark Snider claims that ERAI is watchdog of electronic component industry. But on contrary more than 70% of its members buy and sell counterfeit, smuggled and pirated semicondutor, electronic components starting from Commercial, industrial, military sensitive, aviation parts.
ERAI as name suggests is a business networking community which brings buyer and seller together who primarily buy cheap, substandard and counterfeit parts. This community is part of grey market which has over 1000 networked independent kitchen table dealers and medium size brokers.
These brokers bring counterfeit cheap, fake components from china using ERAI inspection and erai escrow services for known and improvised counterfeits some of them are even meant for aviation and military agencies.
Many parts are recently bought to light by Pentagon, NASA, BAE which are supplied by American brokers mostly belonging to ERAI community or its affiliates.
