I assume this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kogan_Technologies. TLDR: An Australian electronics manufacturer that's about to go under due to the lack of any business knowledge/savvy.

It would seem that they are quite a controversial retailer, looking under "Controversies" of the wikipedia link above.

I like them a lot more already

JB Hi-Fi

Ruslan Kogan then bet Terry Smart, the CEO of JB Hi-Fi A$1,000,000 that they would not stock Apple hardware by 14 March 2014.[55] The deed for the bet is still available online, though it has not been accepted.[56]

In March 2011, Kogan began giving away free HDMI cables to anyone who had bought a TV from JB Hi-Fi in 2011.[57] This was, Kogan said, a bit to expose that "JB are trying to trick people into thinking they need a $200 cable after buying a FULL HD TV. This is simply not the case."[58]

At the JB Hi-Fi Annual General Meeting in October 2011, a JB shareholder claimed consumers were "being screwed," when responding to the comment, the chairman and CEO of JB Hi-Fi acknowledged the "challenging conditions" they face due to the cheaper prices online.[59]

In October 2011, Kogan took out a full page ad in Australia's biggest newspaper calling for JB Hi-Fi to change their slogan, "Always Cheapest Prices."[60] JB Hi-Fi did not respond to the challenge.[61]
