I have a friend who lives in Kankakee and he told me about it.

I'm glad they're cracking down on these people.

This is probably the same dude who had all the knockoffs for sale at the Dwight Harvest Days I went to a little while back.

There was also a booth there with knockoff Northface and Beats By Dre.

When I went and visited my cousin this summer he told me about the guy. It was common knowledge what he was doing. The guy had an extremely nice house.

Great to see homeland security keeping this country safe. I feel my tax dollars were finally correctly used.

Article says they were called in because he was getting shipments from out of the country, I believe.

Many of these guys are gang affiliated.

I agree...there has to be more important things to worry about than counterfeit sports jerseys....

Criminals of all levels will also use this stuff and LEGOs as currency to move money around undetected.

I have no clue. I've seen Majestic's, Mitchell & Ness and Russel jerseys. I've seen some made in russia that the NFL players union label on it so who knows.

Most likely all seized jerseys will be sold at auction and purchase by Topps, Upper Deck and Panini.

There are busts (jerseys, shoes, UGGs, North Face) here in Indiana all the time that trace back to Chinese gangs. I would personally find a legitimate business to launder my drug money, but I guess fake merchandise at flea markets works for a few.
