Apple Pulls 1000 Apps From Store After Developer Scam

Software developer Molinker has been kicked out, along with more than 1,000 of its iPhone applications. The Chinese developer had, according to some estimates, 1,000-plus applications in the store, most of which were copycat knockoffs of existing applications.

After a week of typical Apple silence, iPhoneography wrote again, and received a reply direct from Schiller: "Yes, this developer's apps have been removed from the App Store and their ratings no longer appear either."
