Good Link!
Lots of info there.
I've been getting offers of all types for years and years of big bucks
for little effort.
One of the biggest scams by a Thai was back in the 80s when they shipped
in 9 million dollars worth of radar detectors to the US.
The purchaser never paid for the Thai radar detectors so Customs
auctioned them off for customs fees, storage fees. With ten well healed
Thai distributors in the bidding field they brought in the units for
about $8.00 each and were able to both dump and enter the US market below
competitors prices.
They had a field of about twenty bidders on salary to keep the bidding
low.
They got caught.
A big company name on a transaction doesn't make it a legit deal.
Most of Texas Law enforcement has recently been busting Designer Fake
shops in and around Dallas, Austin, Houston. They busted one guy that had
16 national outlets for fake designer name products.
I was curious about some of the vendor bust and I find most of them have
the doors bolted on the stores.
There is discussion of deporting the offenders and I think that should be
standard practice with non citizens perpetrating crimes. Better than us
paying $30,000.00 a year to incarcerate them, feed them and send them
back out with a citizenship after their prison term.
The largest employer in Texas is "The Texas Prison System", huhm! Wonder
why?
