$1 million of fake Cisco computer components sold on eBay
Published November 8th, 2007
A Cumming man who sold more than $1 million worth of counterfeit computer products on eBay pleaded guilty Thursday before a federal judge in Atlanta.
From 2003 until early this year, Todd Richard, 33, sold fake Cisco computer components by using several eBay account names and business addresses, federal prosecutors said. Richard was charged last month with trafficking counterfeit Cisco trademarks.
“This defendant admitted that he exploited eBay in order to sell hundreds of thousands of dollars of counterfeit computer products, illegally grabbing a profit on the back of the trademark holder,” U.S. Attorney David Nahmia.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten scheduled Richard’s sentencing for Jan. 24
