They seized 37 fakes and then say they were "valued at $1.15mm? Those are valuable fakes! Haha

Edit: beaten to the punch there :)

That link threw a malware warning on Chrome so I could not read the poorly written story about fake watches

Article makes no sense on the values. Obviously the writer failed at math in public.
I can only assume that would be the value of the geniuine pieces they were faking.

...would’ve liked to have picked up one of those fake cartiers. I’ve never seen one. I have a fake platinum day date with a cloned movement as my one and only counterfeit
