Case of the counterfeiting couple

From CBS New York:

Authorities conducted a major bust of counterfeit bags, watches and sunglasses Wednesday afternoon at a small store in Lower Manhattan.

Investigators piled garbage bags containing the knockoffs at the corner of Canal and Lafayette streets.

The husband and wife team of Chen Zhibin and Yun Wei Huang – of College Point Queens – were arrested and charged with trademark counterfeiting and criminal tax fraud. They were awaiting arraignment late Wednesday afternoon.

They operated the Mendi Gift Shop at 251A Canal St.

As long as the original bags, watches and sunglasses remain way overpriced, we'll continue to have counterfeit.
