Seattle Adult Entertainment: 10 charged in Seattle counterfeit bust
After the arrests, at least six of the suspects “admitted they knew the merchandise they were selling was counterfeit,” the documents said.
Surareh, who claimed to to be an employee of Banda at Seattle Handbags, said he did not know it was illegal to sell counterfeit goods.
One suspect, Toure, told investigators he began selling counterfeit goods in 2007 “because there was so much money to be made,” according to the documents. Toure added most of his supply came from New York.
Three of the suspects already have a criminal record. Toure has a prior conviction for loitering for prostitution. Drammeh was convicted of third-degree assault in 2003 and driving without a license in 1996. Jobe has eight prior convictions for driving with a suspended license, and one past conviction for reckless driving.
