Dev Booted From App Store For Inflated Reviews

Posted by timothy on from the built-in-garbage-collection dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Molinker, a Chinese developer of iPhone apps, has been booted from the App Store after being caught trying to game the App Store review system. It seems reviewers were being paid off with free apps in return for 5-star reviews." This means the removal of over 1000 apps, described in this article as "knock-offs of existing applications."

    Do you know any of this for certain (and can back it up with sources) or are you just pulling this stuff straight out of your ether-hole?
