Um no, this WAS one of our factories. Apart from that several people are going to be lined up against a wall and shot after which their families will receive a bill for the bullet so I'm not fecking "chillin", mmmkay?






Quite common mate, the heads of a fake bag factory were shot late last year. China can shoot you for near anything if the "offending" is large enough.


I'm not calling you a liar or anything but can you post a link where it shows that rep bag / watch producers were shot?
I have lived in China for over 2 years and own a business there and am constantly traveling back n forth. I also have family high up in the chinese gov (wifes side) in Beijing and have never heard of anything like this happening in the last 5 to 10 years. I've heard of people being shot or put in prison for life but not being shot for selling fake goods. Worst I've heard is prison time for this.

prime minister was probably pissed his sub c came with a fat hour hand.

LOL, the pearl fell off his bezel, the case wasn't waterproofed, and the movement wasn't regulated as he paid for.:hehehe:

Look, its not like this is a legal business ran by moral people, its the exact opposite.

When you involved in that type of business you understand the penalties and risk your taking. Its like a drug dealer, he knows the risk, he fully realizes the profit, and makes decsions based on those factors. This is no different, its crime, I'd go far enough to say organized crime, theres big money at play here.

Jacob, Jacob... :facepalm:
As you know, I lived in China too, and I'm dealing with China for 12 years, and I also have a business there, not one, but already two, and I can assure you - they do shot for such a things. Last example - case with counterfeit dry milk. Boss of the factory was shot. I'm sure, you just forgot about it, right? And the amount of money ceased was waaaay smaller, than 170M yuan. I can add a few more cases, I just never save chinese links.
Congratulations on your marriage, btw!!!

I was just reading this and as Luthier said, I remember the scandal he mentions and they were using melamine in baby formula and the owner was executed. The major difference there was that many babies died and the whole rest of the world was watching. Making rep watches? I'd be surprised if they got more than a few years in prison. Maybe I'm just an optimist.

That's your attitude towards this and you still buy? Your own statement paints you as having no morals for participating. Your one scary dude.

Thanks mate!!!!!

Ya as a poster said above lots of babies died so I can understand them executing him over that. I'm not saying you're wrong because honestly nothing surprises me over there. People get into trouble for stupid shit and then get away with stuff we would never get away with here. I just think it's crazy they would do something like that over making rep goods.
It scares me to think I go shopping at some rep markets at times and everyone seems so relaxed like it's "business as usual" and if some one pisses off the wrong person a lot of people are going to jail for a long time or getting shot. Hope Im not visiting Jayee that day :p

Yes, at the shops everything is fine, police don't care about small streets vendors. But THIS is big, and China, definitely, love to show to the World, how much they care about counterfeits.
I'm not sure, if there will be death penalties, but they can do it, just to show off.

Why ? What he said is very factual. Scary ? I'm more afraid of sanctimonious people.

I don't disagree with you but calling the counterfeiters victims is a bit much isn't it? They know what they are doing is illegal.

It was either "victim" or "bullet recipient"

Those guys that got busted are just foot soldiers, the real money guys running the show are sitting pretty in Hong Kong driving their Zondas. Highly doubt anyone will catch a bullet for this.
