Remarking chips is often done in China. People remember the remarked Pentium 1 chips that where common in the 90's? They still do it, some even remark older chips and sell them to CPU / chip collectors.
The price is about 20cent pr.chip to relabel old white cheramic chips. Don't know how much the chineese take to relabel stolen modern ddr chips. But the factories are definitively ready to do this if the thiefs want it done.
