Jeff Bezos admits 'stolen and counterfeit goods' are being sold on Amazon!

No one should be above the law, not even Jeff Bezos, common thieves deal in 'stolen goods' and when found guilty in a court of law they are sentenced to prison, Jeff Bezos should be no different!

Jeff Bezos admitted emphatically that he knowingly allowed Amazon to sell 'stolen goods' which is also know as stolen property, stolen merchandise etc. and he should be held accountable and forced to face a criminal trial jury of his peers. If found guilty, it would be extremely difficult to render any other verdict, as he testified under oath to Congress and that Congressional Hearing was televised and viewed by millions of people around the world that Amazon sells 'stolen goods'.

Amazon, by Jeff Bezos' testimony, has over a million third-party sellers so it would be reasonable to conclude even a miniscule percentage could amount to tens of thousands of 'stolen goods' would be handled by Amazon and therefore the penalty for each individual infraction could conceivably bring about several years in prison and then multiplied by the massive number of sales of 'stolen goods' could amount to a lifetime behind bars, and the evidence of his direct and irrefutable testimony would cause his conviction without the need for any witnesses. And to even magnify this each act of selling 'stolen goods' is the direct result of receiving 'stolen goods', another set of felonies for each. Jeff Bezos, if convicted, may never see the light of day beyond his prison walls. Amazon did nothing to investigate and vet these sellers to determine for themselves that none of this property was stolen or counterfeit so he deserves whatever sentence the various juries decide. Had Amazon conducted sufficient due diligence instead of just being focused on the almighty dollar they could have easily prevented this criminal action of receiving and selling 'stolen goods'.

All of the District Attorneys and Attorneys General in every jurisdiction throughout the United States could prosecute Jeff Bezos and in addition to prison incarceration could quite possibly enforce Billions of Dollars in fines and court costs which very well may reduce Jeff Bezos from being the richest man in the world to just your average every day common felon criminal. Daunting thought to say the least. Jeff Bezos may receive his come uppings and he has no one else to blame except himself for being so greedy as to knowingly sell 'stolen goods'.

In August 2019 the FBI uncovered a theft ring in Seattle, where Amazon is headquartered, that sold millions of dollars' of 'stolen goods' on Amazon.com in just the past 6 years FBI agent Ariana Kroshinsky wrote in her affidavit.

The guilty must face the consequences of their actions and Jeff Bezos must be held to the same legal standards that all Americans agree to live by and he may have become a multi billionaire because he engaged in selling 'stolen goods' where the great majority of Americans walk the narrow path of honesty instead of criminal activity and apparently Jeff Bezos chose the easy road with impunity!

Approximately 145 Million people around the globe subscribe to Amazon's "Prime" accounts and pay billions of dollars for the privilege believing that Amazon would act in their best interest and never sell them any counterfeit, dangerous, defective or 'stolen goods' and because Amazon deceived them they at the very least should have the entirety of their costs refunded to them which would most likely amount to BILLIONS of dollars which would then affect the income to Amazon being decreased exponentially and subsequently reduce the stock value accordingly. Amazon would be required to file documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission of these 'material facts'.

There is another possible smoking gun regarding how Amazon conducts their respective businesses and that is their "Terms of Service". If their "Terms of Service" are worded in a specific way with the intent to deceive as mentioned above then quite possibly it could be construed in a court of law that it is a "Scheme or Artifice to Defraud" in violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1346 which could eliminate it from their business entirely by making it invalid and unenforceable in every aspect. This would open up a whole new legal quandary for Amazon should the courts decide to deem their "Terms of Service" unenforceable.

Most major corporations have a 'morals clause' as part of their employee contracts which should include all executives and members of the Board of Directors, wherein if any of them violate it they should be terminated for committing or allowing knowingly criminal acts such as multiple felonies. It would be difficult, if not impossible to claim 'plausible deniability' since the CEO Jeff Bezos admitted under oath his direct knowledge of Amazon engaging in the selling of 'stolen goods'.

Another gleaming aspect of this criminal behavior within Amazon's hierarchy is that in the commission of this very serious crime situation is that the law requires what is referred to as "Clawback" which details that all money generated in the act of committing a Felony the proceeds can be confiscated and/or forfeited to the respective governmental agencies having jurisdiction.

In the case with Jeff Bezos, if found guilty, his multiple million dollar personal acquisitions such as his mansions in Beverly Hills and Washington D.C. and the newspaper Washington Post etc. should also be forfeited as the benefits gained from illegal activity selling 'stolen goods.'

At the risk of being redundant, no one should be above the law which would include Jeff Bezos and when prosecuted finalized and established that he is guilty his forfeitures should amount to several Billion dollars. He was aware of his crimes and did nothing to prevent it and therefore 'if you can't do the time, don't do the crime". We reap exactly what we sow, including the richest man in the world.

The numerous law enforcement agencies who have jurisdiction of the crimes locations, which might be all 50 states, should prosecute every high ranking executive within Amazon including but not limited to CEO Jeff Bezos to the fullest extent of the law and sentence them to the maximum number of years possible to set an example that literally no one is above the law and thus these severe penalties will be a deterrent to any other corporate execs to refrain from engaging is such egregious activities against their fellow man!

There may be other foreign entities such as Canada, the European Union, Great Britain, Ireland among numerous others that want to initiate their own legal proceedings against Amazon, Jeff Bezos along with additional senior executives who participated and allowed the crime of selling 'stolen goods' to have their day in court.

Jeff Bezos may come to 'Rue the Day' that he admitted under oath to selling 'stolen goods'!

On Wednesday, July 29, 2020, the world's richest man, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, testified under oath before the United States Congress answering questions regarding his company's anti-competitive behavior.

During the five-hour-long Q&A session Jeff Bezos was hit with a wide array of questions about topics ranging from Amazon's controversial use of third-party seller data to turning a blind eye to counterfeit products and selling 'stolen goods'.

Being the founder and CEO, Jeff Bezos is acutely aware of literally all that happens within his Amazon empire as he would be the most knowledgeable regarding the inner workings of his own company which is precisely how he became the richest man in the entire world.

David Cicilline, the chair of the House of Representative's Antitrust subcommittee who was leading the investigation into Amazon's stated "As CEO and founder of the company, (Jeff Bezos) must be accountable for Amazon's record of dishonesty before Congress", and "In light of the gravity of this situation, I am also considering whether a perjury referral is warranted".

Congress also said that the company statements "appear to be misleading, and possibly criminally false or perjurious".

For example, when Rep. Pramila Jayapal asked him whether Amazon ever used third-party seller data to create competing products under its own label, Bezos dodged that direct and specific question by replying "I can't answer yes or no to that question".  

"We have a policy against using seller-specific data to aid our private-label business", he added, "But I can't guarantee you that that policy has never been violated". Jeff Bezos knows full well what takes place at Amazon, he answered in that verbiage to cover himself and not be found guilty of perjury.

Pressed to address allegations of Amazon's data appropriation exposed in a Wall Street Journal investigation in April, Bezos said he didn't know the specifics yet. "We continue to look into that very carefully".

In a separate exchange later in the hearing, Congresswoman Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia asked Bezos whether Amazon has allowed 'stolen goods' to be sold on its platform. Rep. McBath asked Jeff Bezos, "Are 'stolen goods' sold on Amazon? To which Bezos replied, "Congresswoman, not to my knowledge". This response was absolute perjury to the United States Congress because Jeff Bezos was acutely aware of the August 2019 FBI investigation of the $10 Million dollar theft ring that sold 'stolen goods' on Amazon!

Asked more than once Jeff Bezos eventually admitted under oath that yes, Amazon does indeed sell 'stolen goods' by stating among other things that "There are more than one million sellers on Amazon. I'm sure there have been 'stolen goods' sold on Amazon".

Rep. McBath asked point blank again, "So basically Mr. Bezos that means you are saying YES?" To which Bezos finally responded, "I GUESS SO".

Pressed further by Rep. McBath on the subject of selling 'stolen goods', Jeff Bezos stated "I don't think it's a large part of what we are doing". Are you kidding Jeff Bezos, NOT A LARGE PART OF WHAT WE ARE DOING! You act as if it's no big deal but definitely something that brings in lots of income so we just close our eyes and let the money flow in from our 'stolen goods' business!

Mr. Bezos, 'Go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect the $200, just like the play monopoly game'! It appears to you that selling 'stolen goods' is something you take for granted and enjoy since it's part and parcel of what made you into a Billionaire and the richest man in the world. You mock the hard working honest people of America and you should be ashamed of yourself...

Law enforcement can't ignore your blatant refusal to police your own company and eliminate once and for all the criminal behavior of selling 'stolen goods' etc. and they should proscecute you Jeff Bezos just like any street criminal who robs a liquor store for a couple hundred dollars. Not only does selling Counterfeit, Dangerous, Defective, Illegal and 'Stolen Goods' hurt the consumer but cause the prices of everything any legitimate business sells to try and offset what you do on what could possibly be an every day occurence.

Every individual engaged in Law Enforcement in the United States has sworn a sacred oath to "Defend the Constitution Against All Enemies Foreign and Domestic' and to uphold the law equally regardless of who may be the criminal so they must investigate and prosecute every perpetrator including Jeff Bezos as he is an 'admitted criminal' against his own customers.

Selling 'stolen goods' is a FELONY! Receiving 'stolen goods' is also a FELONY!

Since a vast number of third-party sellers ship their goods to be sold in the 'Fulfillment by Amazon' (FBA) and Amazon then receives and stores their products within Amazon's warehouses (fulfillment centers) and then the Amazon advertises the various products for sale, uses Amazon's payment methods, and then will pick, pack and ship them in Amazon packaging to the purchasers.

A California Appeals court ruled last April that Amazon was indeed the seller of record to Angela Bolger since Amazon's activities basically conducted the entire transaction from beginning to end even though they did not manufacture the defective product and harmed Bolger severely.

In respect with 'stolen goods' Amazon receives them from the third party sellers which means Amazon is committing numerous FELONIES by becoming the recipient of 'stolen property' and then selling/delivering 'stolen goods' with the full and complete knowledge of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos as verified by his sworn testimony before the United States Congress, can't be more substantiated proof than that! GUILTY!!!

Congress has demanded that Amazon discontinue selling 'Stolen Goods', Counterfeit, Illegal, Deadly and Deceptive Products.

There may be another possibility why sellers have chosen Amazon as their partner in crime and that is it would be the perfect mechanism to carry out 'money laundering', meaning taking the dirty money obtained via 'stolen goods' being sold at will on Amazon and then cleaning that same sales money, which is a 'Prime" method, and hopefully undetectable to Amazon since Amazon nor Jeff Bezos has been able to stem the tide of long term 'stolen goods' from being overwhelming sold on Amazon.

If Amazon has become too large and unwieldy then maybe the Federal Government should force Amazon into a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy which could then install one of their Bankruptcy Court Trustees to oversee and run the company since it appears that Jeff Bezos does not possess the necessary control capabilities to prevent and eliminate the proliferation of receiving and selling Counterfeit, Dangerous, Defective and Illegal 'Stolen Goods' from their platform.

The United States Congress should subpoena every single sales document of Amazon for at least the past 10 years to establish exactly how many transactions contained any Counterfeit, Dangerous, Defective, Illegal and 'Stolen Goods' took place and reverse those illegal sales and return the entire purchase price to the consumer victims who was deceived.

California Penal Code Section § 496 - Receiving Stolen Property

Property is stolen if it was obtained by any type of theft, or by burglary or robbery. Theft includes obtaining property by larceny, embezzlement, false pretense, or trick.   

To receive property means to take possession and control of it. Two or more people can possess the property at the same time.

A person does not have to actually hold or touch something to possess it. It is enough if the person has control over it either personally or through another person.

When Amazon third-party sellers deliver 'stolen goods' to an Amazon Fulfillment Center for resale and delivery the Amazon company is then the recipient of 'stolen property' based upon the California Penal Code Section § 496, they are part and parcel of the actual act.

California Penal Code section § 496, subdivision (a) (section 496(a)) makes receiving or buying property “that has been obtained in any manner constituting theft” a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment. Section § 496, subdivision (c) (section 496(c)) provides that any person “who has been injured by a violation of (section 496(a) may bring an action for three times the amount of actual damages, if any, sustained by the plaintiff, costs of suit, and reasonable attorney's fees.”

Plaintiffs contends, based on the statutory language, a criminal conviction under section 496(a) is not a prerequisite to recovery of treble damages under section 496(c). Plaintiff asserts that the phrase “any manner constituting theft” under section 496(a) includes theft by false pretense.

Leading buyers of Amazon products without disclosing that they may be 'counterfeit, damaged, deadly, defective, illegal, and/or 'stolen goods' is tantamount to selling via false pretenses and therefore may be considered the crime of theft by false pretense under California Penal Code Section § 496.

Receiving Stolen Property (Penal Code, § 496(a)). (“(Property is stolen if it was obtained by any type of theft, or by burglary or robbery. (Theft includes obtaining property by larceny, embezzlement, false pretense, or trick.))”)

Theft by False Pretense, Larceny by Trickery, Unjust Enrichment (Price Gouging During the Coronavirus Pandemic Emergency), Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith are a few more that need to be investigated in the process of selling and receiving 'stolen goods' as they pertain to Amazon not disclosing these facts to potential buyers of the Counterfeit, Dangerous, Deadly, Defective, Illegal and 'Stolen Goods'.

California Penal Code § 532 (a) Every person who knowingly and designedly, by any false or fraudulent representation or pretense, defrauds any other person of money, labor, or property, whether real or personal, or who causes or procures others to report falsely of his or her wealth or mercantile character, and by thus imposing upon any person obtains credit, and thereby fraudulently gets possession of money or property, or obtains the labor or service of another, is punishable in the same manner and to the same extent as for larceny of the money or property so obtained.

California Penal Code § 484 Larceny (a) Every person who shall feloniously steal, take, carry, lead, or drive away the personal property of another, or who shall fraudulently appropriate property which has been entrusted to him or her, or who shall knowingly and designedly, by any false or fraudulent representation or pretense, defraud any other person of money, labor or real or personal property, or who causes or procures others to report falsely of his or her wealth or mercantile character and by thus imposing upon any person, obtains credit and thereby fraudulently gets or obtains possession of money, or property or obtains the labor or service of another, is guilty of theft.

California Penal Code § 396 (a) The Legislature hereby finds that during a state of emergency or local emergency, including, but not limited to, an earthquake, flood, fire, riot, storm, drought, plant or animal infestation or disease, pandemic or epidemic disease outbreak, or other natural or manmade disaster, some merchants have taken unfair advantage of consumers by greatly increasing prices for essential consumer goods and services. While the pricing of consumer goods and services is generally best left to the marketplace under ordinary conditions, when a declared state of emergency or local emergency results in abnormal disruptions of the market, the public interest requires that excessive and unjustified increases in the prices of essential consumer goods and services be prohibited. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to protect citizens from excessive and unjustified increases in the prices charged during or shortly after a declared state of emergency or local emergency for goods and services that are vital and necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of consumers, whether those goods and services are offered or sold in person, in stores, or online. Further, it is the intent of the Legislature that this section be liberally construed so that its beneficial purposes may be served.

California Penal Code § Unjust Enrichment - In every contract or agreement there is an implied promise of good faith and fair dealing. This implied promise means that each party will not do anything to unfairly interfere with the right of any other party to receive the benefits of the contract. Good faith means honesty of purpose without any intention to mislead or to take unfair advantage of another. Generally speaking, it means being faithful to one’s duty or obligation. However, the implied promise of good faith and fair dealing cannot create obligations that are inconsistent with the terms of the contract. Amazon by the very nature of selling 'Stolen Goods' as just one example, without full disclosure has violated "Good Faith and Fair Dealing" with every buyer of property from Amazon including the 'Elderly' which would kick in Elder Financial Abuse.

Ignorance of the law is neither an excuse nor a defense of the criminal act.

The very instant that a Defendant commits any other crimes, any property so obtained was then obtained by "Theft" and thus selling said property would be considered "Stolen Property" and could immediately constitute additional crimes under California Penal Code Section § 496.

There is a relatively unknown but extremely important, legal case decided by the California Appeals Court that will have a profound effect on Amazon and Jeff Bezos regarding the receiving of and selling 'stolen goods',

California Court of Appeals Fourth District, Division 3, Penal Code Section § 498(c) making it illegal to receive stolen goods allows Treble Damages GO46166 Decided January 15, 2013 Sharon Bell v. Igal J. Feibush does not require a criminal conviction under Section § 496(a).

In Bell v. Feibush (filed January 15, 2013) 2013 DJDAR 627, Feibush argues that permitting Bell to recover treble damages under section 496(c) is contrary to public policy and permits litigants to circumvent limitations on remedies. Our decision to affirm the default judgment is based on straightforward statutory interpretation. Section 496(a) extends liability to “(e)very person who buys or receives any property that has been stolen or that has been obtained in any manner constituting theft.” (Italics added.) Penal Code section 484, subdivision (a) describes the acts constituting theft to include theft by false pretense, which is the consensual but fraudulent acquisition of property from its owner. (Pen.Code § 484, subd. (a), 532.) Feibush was found liable for fraud, i.e., for the fraudulent acquisition of property (money) from its owner (Bell). “Anything that could be the subject of a theft can also be property under section 496.” (People v. Gopal (1985) 171 Cal.App.3d 524, 541, 217 Cal.Rptr. 487.) A principal in the actual theft of the property may be convicted for either theft or receiving stolen property under section 496(a).

Penal Code § 487 PC – Grand theft defined (may be charged in connection with receiving stolen property). (“Grand theft is theft committed in any of the following cases: (a) When the money, labor, or real or personal property taken is of a value exceeding nine hundred fifty dollars ($950), except as provided in subdivision (b). (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), grand theft is committed in any of the following cases: . . . (c) When the property is taken from the person of another. (d) When the property taken is any of the following: (1) An automobile, horse, mare, gelding, any bovine animal, any caprine animal, mule, jack, jenny, sheep, lamb, hog, sow, boar, gilt, barrow, or pig. (2) A firearm.”)

Plaintiff contends that under California Penal Code section § 496 Defendants, by obtaining ownership even temporarily via committing a criminal act in violation of California Penal Code section § 532 Defendant did so illegally and thus obtained momentary and temporary ownership of said property stored in an Amazon warehouse, fulfillment center, to sell to millions of unsuspecting buyers by false pretenses makes the property transfer tantamount to "receiving and then subsequently selling stolen property", a felony under California Law.

California has an extremely valuable law for Senior Citizens, individuals 65 years old and over commonly referred to as Elder Financial Abuse Act.

There are approximately 9 million residents of California aged 65+, of which a substantial number have at one time or another purchased property from Amazon, which makes their situation a monumental dilemma for Jeff Bezos and his Amazon company.

California Penal Code sections 368(d) and 368(e) Elder Financial Abuse and Civil Code Section § 1575

Elder Financial Abuse is both a civil tort and a criminal offense.

It is not necessary under these statutes that the taker maintain an intent to defraud; rather, a person is guilty of committing financial elder abuse so long as it would be obvious to a reasonable person that the taker is not entitled to the elder’s assets.

When Amazon for instance charges a Senior for its "Prime" account and sells them 'stolen goods, counterfeit, dangerous and/or defective products it could be construed as by false pretenses and thusly Elder Financial Abuse may have taken place in which the law now can be invoked to protect the financial wherewithal of the deceived individual.

The State of California only requires that the aggreived need be a California resident, 65 years of age and cheated in some amount not specified, basically defrauded in any amount for this law to kick in.

California Penal Code sections 368(d) and 368(e)

(d) Any person who is not a caretaker who violates any provision of law proscribing theft, embezzlement, forgery, or fraud, or who violates Section 530.5 proscribing identity theft, with respect to the property or personal identifying information of an elder or a dependent adult, and who knows or reasonably should know that the victim is an elder or a dependent adult, is punishable as follows:   

(1) By a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment, or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 for two, three, or four years, or by both that fine and imprisonment, when the moneys, labor, goods, services, or real or personal property taken or obtained is of a value exceeding nine hundred fifty dollars ($950).   

(2) By a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment, when the moneys, labor, goods, services, or real or personal property taken or obtained is of a value not exceeding nine hundred fifty dollars ($950).  
 
(e) Any caretaker of an elder or a dependent adult who violates any provision of law proscribing theft, embezzlement, forgery, or fraud, or who violates Section 530.5 proscribing identity theft, with respect to the property or personal identifying information of that elder or dependent adult, is punishable as follows:  

(1) By a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment, or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 for two, three, or four years, or by both that fine and imprisonment, when the moneys, labor, goods, services, or real or personal property taken or obtained is of a value exceeding nine hundred fifty dollars ($950).  

(2) By a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment, when the moneys, labor, goods, services, or real or personal property taken or obtained is of a value not exceeding nine hundred fifty dollars ($950).
 
California Welfare and Institutions Code § 15610.07.  

"Abuse of an elder or a dependent adult" means either of the following:

(a) Physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, abandonment, isolation, abduction, or other treatment with resulting physical harm or pain or mental suffering.
 
(b) The deprivation by a care custodian of goods or services that are necessary to avoid physical harm or mental suffering.
 
15610.27. "Elder" means any person residing in this state, 65 years of age or older.

California Welfare and Institutions Code 15610.30.  

(a) "Financial abuse" of an elder or dependent adult occurs when a person or entity does any of the following:

(1) Takes, secretes, appropriates, obtains, or retains real or personal property of an elder or dependent adult for a wrongful use or with intent to defraud, or both.
 
(2) Assists in taking, secreting, appropriating, obtaining, or retaining real or personal property of an elder or dependent adult for a wrongful use or with intent to defraud, or both.
 
(3) Takes, secretes, appropriates, obtains, or retains, or assists in taking, secreting, appropriating, obtaining, or retaining, real or personal property of an elder or dependent adult by undue influence, as defined in Section 15610.70 and by Section 1575 of the Civil Code.
 
 (b) A person or entity shall be deemed to have taken, secreted, appropriated, obtained, or retained property for a wrongful use if, among other things, the person or entity takes, secretes, appropriates, obtains, or retains the property and the person or entity knew or should have known that this conduct is likely to be harmful to the elder or dependent adult.
 
 (c) For purposes of this section, a person or entity takes, secretes, appropriates, obtains, or retains real or personal property when an elder or dependent adult is deprived of any property right, including by means of an agreement, donative transfer, or testamentary bequest, regardless of whether the property is held directly or by a representative of an elder or dependent adult.

Not all of California's 9 million residents 65+ years are involved with everything stated herein however a vast majority may have the circumstances regarding their respective dealings with Amazon creating monumental legal ramifications with potential

California Welfare and Institutions Code section § 15657.5 provides:

(a) Where it is proven by a preponderance of the evidence that a defendant is liable for financial abuse, as defined n Section 15610.30, in addition to all other remedies otherwise provided by law, the court shall award to the plaintiff reasonable attorney's fees and costs. The term "costs" includes, but is not limited to, reasonable fees for the services of a conservator, if any, devoted to the litigation of a claim brought under this article.

(b) Where it is proven by a preponderance of the evidence that a defendant is liable for financial abuse, as defined in Section 15610.30, and where it is proven by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has been guilty of recklessness, oppression, fraud, or malice in the commission of the abuse, in addition to reasonable attorney's fees and costs set forth in subdivision (a), and all other remedies otherwise provided by law, the following shall apply:

(1) The limitations imposed by Section 377.34 of the Code of Civil Procedure on the damages recoverable shall not apply.

(2) The standards set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 3294 of the Civil Code regarding the imposition of punitive damages on an employer based upon the acts of an employee shall be satisfied before any damages or attorney's fees permitted under this section may be imposed against an employer.

(c) Nothing in this section affects the award of punitive damages under Section 3294 of the Civil Code.

One of the absolutely fantastic scenarios regarding California's Elder Financial Abuse Act is should a Plaintiff decide to file a lawsuit against a Defendant the law states that if the Plaintiff prevails then is awarded reasonable costs and attorney fees however conversely if does not prevail the Plaintiff has no legal obligation to reimburse the Defendant any of their costs or attorney fees.

The California legislature decided to give tremendous teeth to this law so seniors would be more inclined to pursue their perpetrator knowing that if they were not successful they would not be burdened with a horrific legal expense of the Defendant.

Being aware of this above information it would appear that there may well be numerous lawsuits initiated against any company that has willfully and knowingly sold among other things 'stolen goods' to the vulnerable California residents over the age of 65 and even possibly the other 49 states residents as well depending on the various laws pertaining to their situations!

New York Attorney General Letitia James sent a letter to Amazon in April saying it was looking into whether the company violated federal employment law or broke the state's whistleblower laws when it fired a worker who organized a strike at its Staten Island facility. Jun 12, 2020

Shoppers BEWARE! This website will expose the dirty underbelly of Amazon and its leadership so the entire world will know all of the inappropriate and potential illegal and unsafe actions the company has perpetuated over the years against its employees, consumers and innocent bystanders. No one can escape the long arm of the law, not even Jeff Bezos, and you can not "mislead Congress" and get away with it forever!

Do not purchase Counterfeit or Dangerous products, especially electronic devices and toys, that have not been authenticated by a reputable US Government agency to assure the quality and provenance of every item, your lives and the lives of your children depend on it!

More than 400 lawmakers from 34 countries back 'Make Amazon Pay' campaign

LONDON, Dec 3, 2020 (Reuters) - More than 400 lawmakers from 34 countries have signed a letter to Amazon.com Inc boss Jeff Bezos backing a campaign that claims the tech giant has “dodged and dismissed … debts to workers, societies, and the planet,” organisers said.

The “Make Amazon Pay” campaign was launched on Nov. 27 - the annual Black Friday shopping bonanza - by a coalition of over 50 organisations, with demands including improvements to working conditions and full tax transparency.

The letter’s signatories include U.S. Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, former UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and Vice President of the European Parliament Heidi Hautala, co-convenors Progressive International and UNI Global Union said.

“We urge you to act decisively to change your policies and priorities to do right by your workers, their communities, and our planet,” the letter said.

“We stand ready to act in our respective legislatures to support the movement that is growing around the world to Make Amazon Pay.”

Amazon, the world’s biggest retailer, has faced criticism for its tax practices before, including in the UK and the EU. It says its profits remain low given retail is a highly competitive, low margin business and it invests heavily.

It said on Thursday that while it accepted scrutiny from policymakers, many of the matters raised in the letter stemmed from misleading assertions.

“Amazon has a strong track record of supporting our employees, our customers, and our communities, including providing safe working conditions, competitive wages and great benefits,” it said, adding it was “paying billions of dollars in taxes globally.”

Amazon grew rapidly during the pandemic, with sales soaring as restrictions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus closed bricks-and-mortar shops and sent consumers online.

Governments worldwide are considering tougher rules for big tech to assuage worries about competition.

The European Union, for example, last month charged Amazon with damaging retail competition, alleging it used its size, power and data to gain an unfair advantage over smaller merchants that sell on its online platform.

Amazon disagreed with the EU assertions, saying it represented less than 1% of the global retail market and there were larger retailers in every country in which it operated.

There have been numerous reports that Amazon, the company founded by the richest man in the world Jeff Bezos, has advertised to hire individuals with spying skills that could quite possibly spy on Amazon employees and more, a disturbing fact if true, and copies of those ads are attached.

Why would the richest man in the world be so paranoid and deathly afraid of his own employees that he felt compelled to hire people to illegally spy on them?

The United States Senate is so understandably concerned that they felt the need to send Jeff Bezos a formal letter asking him if he is indeed spying on his own employees at Amazon! (letter attached)

The same U.S. Senate sent Jeff Bezos another letter demanding that AmazonBasics discontinue selling products that are fire hazards which have already severely harmed several Amazon customers. (letter attached)

U.S. Senator Brian Schatz, on behalf of himself and Senators Elizabeth Warren, Bernard Sanders and Kirsten Gillibrand, sent Jeff Bezos a letter on October 15, 2020 and requesting a response to their very direct and specific 18 questions no later than November 1, 2020 stating among other things that Amazon emphatically "misled Congress" which is an extremely hazardous situation to be in to say the least. (letter attached)

Amazon is well known for selling dangerous and defective products to their customers, and when these people are harmed, denying emphatically that Amazon has no responsibility whatsoever to even pay medical bills for their customers who have been physically harmed by their defective products.

Jeff Bezos is unconcerned with the extensive damage inflicted upon the unsuspecting Amazon consumers, but instead is much more interested in increasing his monumentally vast wealth at their expense, regardless of any pain and suffering they endure caused by the defective merchandise delivered by Amazon.

The California Appeals Court ruled recently that Amazon can not escape responsibility for defective products that severely harmed Angela Bolger when a defective laptop battery exploded and burnt her causing enormous pain and suffering however Amazon refused to acknowledge that they were in fact at fault even though they were the legal seller of the hazardous laptop. Just one example of many that indicates the risk one takes when trusting Amazon to do the right thing.

In another dangerous product situation Amazon has settled a high-stakes battle over its liability for defective merchandise that left a woman blind in one eye, the company's lawyer told a federal judge.

News of the settlement was revealed in papers that were quietly filed late last week. Terms were not disclosed.

The deal brings an end to a closely watched fight over Amazon's legal responsibility for products sold through its online marketplace.

The battle dated to 2016, when Pennsylvania resident Heather Oberdorf alleged she was severely injured by a faulty product she purchased via Amazon's marketplace from the vendor The Furry Gang.

She and her husband sued Amazon in federal court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, claiming that the company sold a product with a defective design.

Oberdorf alleged that she purchased a dog collar from Amazon's marketplace in December of 2014. Several weeks after Oberdorf began using the collar, her dog lunged while on a walk and broke the collar's ring, causing the retractable leash Oberdorf was holding to recoil. The leash hit her eyeglasses, causing them to shatter into her left eye and permanently blinding her in one eye.

The 3rd Circuit sent the case to Pennsylvania's highest court, which was slated to rule on whether Amazon would be considered a seller under Pennsylvania law.

But Amazon and Oberdorf reached a settlement before that court issued a decision.

It would appear that Amazon rushed to settle the lawsuit quickly so it could not establish a another legal precedent against their being held responsible for defective products again.

Every person who purchases anything from Amazon literally risks his or her own life because of the defective and counterfeit products that freely flow through their warehouses on any given day and there is no way to know in advance which items can cause you severe harm, Amazon does not investigate which products are harmful and apparently they don’t care enough to find out and prevent the sale since Jeff Bezos has become extremely rich through those sales.

In addition, several governments around the world are investigating Amazon such as Canada, the European Union and India for conduct detrimental to their own customers, a sad state of affairs.

Does this sound like an organization everyone should entrust their hard earned money with, NOT!

At the very least Amazon employees in the United States should form a union for their own protection before it becomes too late and then even Congress will be unable to protect them. Worst case scenario would be for all employees to all go on strike indefinitely until Amazon agrees unequivocally to allow them to join a union.

Amazon hit with E.U. antitrust charges over its use of data November 10, 2020

The e-commerce giant faces a possible fine of up to 10 percent of its annual worldwide revenue, which could amount to billions of dollars.

LONDON — European Union regulators have filed antitrust charges against Amazon, accusing the e-commerce giant of using data to gain an unfair advantage over merchants using its platform.

The E.U.'s executive commission, the bloc's top antitrust enforcer, said Tuesday that the charges have been sent to the company.

The commission said it takes issue with Amazon's systematic use of non-public business data to avoid “the normal risks of competition and to leverage its dominance" for e-commerce services in France and Germany, the company's two biggest markets in the E.U.

The E.U. started looking into Amazon in 2018 and has been focusing on its dual role as a marketplace and retailer.

In addition to selling its own products, the U.S. company allows third-party retailers to sell their own goods through its site. Last year, more than half of the items sold on Amazon worldwide were from these outside merchants.

Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager, the E.U. commissioner in charge of competition, said it’s not a problem that Amazon is a successful business but “our concern is very specific business conduct which appears to distort genuine competition.”

Vestager also opened a second investigation into Amazon over whether it favours its own products and those from third-party merchants that use its logistics and delivery services.

The Laws governing the American people are derived from the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights which includes one of the most important, the First Amendment, allowing Free Speech which means we can all speak our voices without fear of prosecution.

Amazon is Notorious for being involved with intolerable actions within its ranks and the company should be broken up into numerous different and smaller parts or eliminated completely due to them allowing despicable acts to occur and Amazon has been accused by several governmental agencies for deplorable activities such as Anti Competitive Business, Antitrust Concerns, Bribery, Counterfeit Products, Defective Products, Discrimination, Fake Product Reviews, Illegal Insider Stock Trading, Intellectual Property Piracy, Market Dominance, Predatory Pricing, Price Fixing, Price Gouging, Racism, Retaliation, Sexism, Sexual Harassment, Social Injustice, Unethical Practices and Unsafe Working Conditions just to name a few.

Notorious Markets - The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR)  reports on the adequacy and effectiveness of trading partners’ protection of intellectual property rights and the findings of its Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy, which highlights online and physical markets that reportedly engage in and facilitate substantial trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy.

“The Trump Administration is committed to holding intellectual property rights violators accountable and to ensuring that American innovators and creators have a full and fair opportunity to use and profit from their work,” said U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.

The United States Government has determined that Amazon, the company founded and operated by the richest man in the world Jeff Bezos, facilitates the criminal activity of trademark counterfeiting and piracy of products sales to billions of people around the globe for which Amazon profits enormously through these highly illegal actions.

White House trade and economic adviser Peter Navarro defended the decision to add the Amazon websites to the notorious markets list saying "This is an action clearly justified by the behavior of the worst counterfeit-enabler in the world and the Amazon brain trust would rather fight this out in the media through their swamp-creature spin doctors than clean up their marketplace in the urgent ways necessary to protect the American people from fraud and often physical harm from dangerous counterfeit products."
