Fakes From China? Shocking!!!

News out of the US is that 3 Chinese nationals have been arrested recently as part of a conspiracy that sold millions in counterfeit goods in the US. The article stated:
Authorities call it one of the largest counterfeit operations ever discovered,
involving about 300,000 bags and wallets with names like Burberry, Gucci and
Coach.

No surprise that one of the individuals was arrested in Las Vegas. From a legal standpoint I sort of wonder about the jurisdiction issue, despite the 3 leaders of the ring all living in New York, the indictment was issued in Richmond, VA. This story is definitely one to watch.
