Raijor Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 It took 3 years to complete the investigation?????? The guy generated over 1 million in sales??? What kind of law enforcement is this? Be interesting to follow and see if he gets any jail time. House arrest is the sentance de jour in Canada right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 How great to have your name, age and address given on the net... ...I thought cops had better things to do. Unless he scammed people with the watches...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) Nice one andreww! I especially liked this: His most quoted statement is: "To realize one's dream, one must first wake up."

andreww Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'd love to see what kind of [censored] he was selling. Seeing as he doesn't look asian, I can't see him having access to the good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miquel Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I see the RCMP only act on big business complaints.... The investigation was the result of a complaint received from Rolex Canada Limited. Where were they last week when my car was broke into?

Goochenbrau Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 What does "Consumers should be very leery of purchasing high end goods over the internet..." mean ???? I interpreted that to mean that he was selling them as gens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I interpreted that to mean that he was selling them as gens. Now I do too........if that's so......F*ck 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Now I do too........if that's so......F*ck 'em. I wouldn't be so sure about that. He wouldn't be moving the quantities he was if he was selling as genuine. The press tend to write articles to put fear in your head, makes for better reading.

archibald Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Mmmmmm, very interesting !! What does "Consumers should be very leery of purchasing high end goods over the internet..." mean ???? I leer at high end goods on the Web all the time--watches, women, even Barker Black shoes on occasion--but I'm leery about buying from sources I don't trust.

Dutchy Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) I wouldn't be so sure about that. He wouldn't be moving the quantities he was if he was selling as genuine. The press tend to write articles to put fear in your head, makes for better reading. A few Rolexes, a Tag and a 66 other watches (of lower brand name in terms of watches, like LV, Prada, Gucci, etc) was what he had at his house. That one million could be generated by a couple hundred times that (3 yr investigation, means a lot of watches, lol) Therefore, theres a huge possability that he could have sold them as gens. Anyway, IF he did, f'em. Edited April 5, 2007 by Dutchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
