OMG!!!! I read that and I was actually laughting about that I wonder if they were fellow perfume addicts.LOL I really wonder what perfumes they were.

Versace, Dior and Fendi–nothing any of us would go after rabidly. 🙂
I loved the “mastermind” comment! Egad, what idiots.
Seriously. Idiots.
This is sad. How many of those sworn to “serve and protect” might be this stupid…and criminal?

One of the first things I thought was, “I wonder where most of this product would have ended up had they gotten away with it?”
Agree with Queen Cupcake: you know it’s sick when current and former law enforcement are involved in crime.
There is so much diverted product on the market. The vast majority of stuff that people assume is fake is probably just diverted product.
Yes. We call it the gray market – when it can’t be traced back to an original PO.
eBay?
That would be a long, slow process — doubt it.
The Great Perfume Robbery ….
