Boro-Park matzah bakery scandal

According to an insider, a Boro-Park matzah bakery has defrauded a matzah baking chaburah. A matzah baking chaburah had rented out the matzah bakery for an entire day to be used by them exclusively. In order to ensure that the bakery met their standard of kashrus, the chaburah came the night before they were to bake and kashered all the metal baking implements and sanded all the wooden ones. The chaburah was to begin baking at 10:00 am the next morning. However, the owner of the matzah bakery, trying to make a couple of extra bucks, came in with his regular baking crew at 7:00 am and baked until the chaburah was to arrive at 10:00, using the freshly kashered utensils. A couple of minutes before ten, the owner had his workers clean up their mess and did not mention a word to the chaburah of what he had done.
