The Investigative Consultants team located a subject that
was mass producing counterfeit video games and distributing them throughout the
Southern California area. Undercover investigators from Investigative Consultants were able
to make multiple undercover purchases from the subject and determined that the
subject had a massive library of all the current video games, along with past hits.
Investigators identified a store where the subject
was operating from and determined he was making the counterfeit goods at the
location in a back room. The subject had a massive manufacturing set up at the
location and had the capacity to make thousands of counterfeit copies.
The investigation was taken over by law enforcement. After law enforcement agents
conducted undercover purchases they were able to determine that the subject was a major
manufacturer of counterfeit video games. They obtained a search warrant for the
location and arrested the owner.
The owner was charged with felony trademark counterfeiting.
He has since been convicted in the case.
