While I can't speak to the provenance of this particular one, Chinese

Given the state of the industry at this point, there's no reason at all
to suspect it to be a hoax.

May be Dave, I had Problems with some Transistors in the past,
but they are made from automatic fabrics.
That thing on the picture can't be made this way, and producing this as a
mass product would be more expansive than making the entire electrolytic
capacitor itself. This thing for sure is a hoax.
I have no problem when you say, that there may be Rubicon lookalikes on
the market that doesn't hold the specs, but not such a thing.
Remeber: Chineses are making cheap things, but they aren't idiots for sure.

Almost laughed out loud at that one. Seems like it would cost more to
make the fake if it weren't done by the millions.
Don't think that this one is real. It is on the web for years now and still
reappearing from time to time.
