I guess that I had considered counterfeit crimes to be about making money, but I guess the term can be used for other things as well. I recently bought a few handbags that were knock-offs of the original product. I knew that the label was bogus because the workmanship just was not there. The product seller has contacted me and asked me to talk to his criminal defense Los Angeles attorney hoping that my knowledge about the products could help his case in some way.
