Crime Inc.: Counterfeit Goods
ABOUT THE SHOW
Criminal networks of thieves are breaking into everything and cashing in on a fortune. No one is safe, these modern day pirates steal from stores, semis, warehouses, even our very own homes. The over $70 billion industry of stolen goods is a complex web of stealing, buying, and selling—placing the items on the Internet, in flea markets, and even back on the shelves of legitimate stores. Crime Inc. investigates what law enforcement, corporations and even a burglary victim are doing to strike back and protect their assets.
