Re: Endless Laws Criminalizing Business
don't fall for the cool aid. i have read the federal indictment, and gibson is knee deep in customs violation. they knowingly lied on the custom forms about what they were importing, including the origin of wood, and the size of the cuts, which is how they got caught. they also lied about the destination, and trying to hide their involvement by leaving themselves off the forms as the final buyer, any of which would lend any of us in jail. henry is hoping you won't do your research, and the piece you listed is a propaganda item. btw, henry also said all the violations happened at the exporter's side, they made mistakes in filling out the forms, but the internal emails showed that the orders came from gibson headquarters as to what mistakes to make on the paperwork to try to mislead the customs.Miles Smiles wrote:Is that true?

if you or i try to sneak things across customs by falsifying the federal paperwork, trust me, we'll be in jail in a hurry.

OK, that gives another light on Gibson, thanks.
But what about that over-criminalization stuff? Do you really get into jail that easily?

when it comes to what amounts to smuggling across customs, yes. oh, and braking both international and us conservation laws that were put in place to help conserve endangered trees. remember all the other manufacturers that use woods like that have no problem following these laws and are not in trouble.

So that report isn't very objective, to say it in friendly words, right?louis cyfer wrote: when it comes to what amounts to smuggling across customs, yes. oh, and braking both international and us conservation laws that were put in place to help conserve endangered trees. remember all the other manufacturers that use woods like that have no problem following these laws and are not in trouble.

Re: Endless Laws Criminalizing Business
one of them. they are all slanted, but by reading several, you can kind of subtract what is actual info. reporting the news doesn't happen anymore. it used to be that reporters reported and you formed an opinion. now they editorialize. they don't report what happened, rather what they think about it. a horrible trend.Miles Smiles wrote:So that report isn't very objective, to say it in friendly words, right?louis cyfer wrote: when it comes to what amounts to smuggling across customs, yes. oh, and braking both international and us conservation laws that were put in place to help conserve endangered trees. remember all the other manufacturers that use woods like that have no problem following these laws and are not in trouble.
