On 022222, Amazon posted this self-laudatory Press Release (the URL has changed since I first archived it on 030122, as has the byline date):
Originally posted under VP Mehta’s byline (since removed), that BusinessWire PR states that:
Now we learn, from the CNBC article you’ve linked, that the CCU (‘Amazonese’ for “Counterfeit Crimes Unit”) employs only 35 folks - which begs the question:
What are the rest of the 10,000 doing?
Well, there goes yet another spit-taken keyboard onto the ever-growing pile of them you people subject me to with your wittiness…
Period.
Just because there are policies doesn’t mean they are part of the team fighting crimes, lol
In 2023, Amazon says it partnered with law enforcement around the world to seize 7 million counterfeit products
Yeah, and 6 Million 990000 from RA sellers actually (re) selling authentic merch…
The part that made me laugh out loud was the size of their team at a whopping 35 people. What a joke!
R Kelly has more urinals in his living room, than Amazon has on their counterfeit “team”.
