Let's say hypothetically:

You SB a Samsung or Iphone in store or online (from third party retailer, not Amazon not Samsung) and get a refund. Eventually the retailer finds the box with false contents.

At this point, they should blacklist the IMEI, at least in the origin country. But some phones are not blacklisted.

1. Why is that? Seems like adding the IMEI to a blacklist would be super quick, why wouldn't they do that in every fraud case?
   
2. Some SEs have had success by only activating the device after 30-60 days. If the IMEI was blocked on day 0, why does the waiting period matter?
   

Any insights?
