Long story short.

Some consumer brought I7 920 from newegg between march 1 - 4, 2010, which ends up having a heatsink made of mold, stack of blank paper as menus, and of cause, a fake I7 920 CPU.
Fake CPU from Newegg

Newegg first stated that those are "Demo boxes" which got mixed up.
Newegg's first response

Intel responded quickly, stating that those are counterfeits, not their demo units.
Intel's response

D&H was said to be the supplier, which they were very very upset and have their lawyers in action to stop those those rumors.
D&H's response

Newegg later clearly stated that those so called "Demo units" are indeed counterfeits from IPEX, and clearly stated that D&H has nothing to do with it.
Newegg's responses again

IPEX responded that those counterfeits came from their suppliers and is Cooperating with Intel to trace the source of the counterfeit.

its the blame game now, sucks that it had to happen to newegg. They definitely wont let it hurt them tho, their customer service is the best in the game.

Looks like it's time for IPEX to shut down and reopen under a new name.

So one has to wonder. Where are the real ones? Depending on the quantity and if they get away with it that's a lot of money.

So is there a conclusion to this? Whose fault is it and who
stole the CPUs?
