Jody M. Smith, business manager of an international business selling counterfeit goods and illegal pharmaceuticals, has pled guilty to conspiracy charges, Acting U.S. Attorney Michael W. Reap announced last week. - Source
- According to the facts filed with the court, from 2004 and until October 2008, Smith managed a business that sold counterfeit goods and operated an illegal Internet pharmacy. Part of the conspiracy involved the sale of counterfeit, high-end consumer goods such as high quality counterfeit Rolex® watches with trademarks which were almost identical to the legitimate marks. The counterfeit goods were typically shipped into the United States from China.
- The government indicated the conspiracy also involved the illegal sale of prescription drugs via an Internet-based pharmacy. The investigation revealed that the Internet pharmacy offered for sale, sold, and shipped prescription drugs in the United States without requiring purchasers to provide or obtain a legally required prescription. Records are said to indicate that the pharmaceuticals were typically shipped into the United States from India.
