Border Patrol Seizes Over $1.3M Worth Of Counterfeit Championship Rings
I guess there is a huge market for counterfeit Championship Rings! The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) bust people every day for trying to smuggle stuff across the border, but there is a new market they have been tackling.
According to the CBP, officers at the Port of Cincinnati recently seized a shipment containing 345 counterfeit championship rings.
“In mid-April, officers at the Port of Cincinnati were inspecting freight from the Asia origin when they discovered a large shipment of counterfeit championship rings,”
“The shipment originated in Hong Kong and was destined to a small business in the city of Utica, NY.
“The rings included team logos from the New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, Pittsburgh Penguins, and New Jersey Devils to name a few. A total of 345 rings were seized representing 18 different sports teams.”
The article from CBP says if they would have been real the rings would have priced out around 1,380,000 million dollars. That is a lot of money!
