He also made claims about the child labor thing, which Im sure triggered their legal team and PR team to act and make an example. I know likely Nike’s legal team is pissed off. I say that likely was the final nail in the shoe (coffiin) just because I have a distant relative who back in the day was Nike’s CFO for their corporate office up in I think western WA, and I guess helped with or was apart of their legal group there too? Not sure on the specifics. In the early to mid 2010s when people started kinda paying more attention to those sort of human rights conflicts or issues (he worked there for decades), he was close to retirement anyway, but was becoming exhausted and more jaded with having to coordinate internal memos and shit with the rest of the employees over it and whatever other BS he was tasked with doing or minimizing to keep profits up.

They will when Nike is suing them too. They allowed a video to be hosted on their platform that displayed how to commit millions of acts of fraud. The creator is only part of the responible party here. FTC is also going to be giving KZread a valuable lesson in their responsibility as a public platform that still operates within the US they can be held just as legally responible for hosting the video and promoting it on their site. If they thought COPPA was bad and the fines were that were bad this is going to take it to whole other levels. This is fraud on a massive wide scale against a massive corporation. This is just the start of things. What legitimate company do you think wants advertising on a platform that shows how to commit criminal acts like fraud? This is clearly what nobody at KZread seems to have considered, they will when Nike's legal team is suing them while the FTC issues them some hefty fines. Facebook got away with 5 billion and KZread already got some with COPPA. They aren't innocent by any means here, this video couldn't have been viewed by so many people for Nike to make any case in the first place, if the platform hadn't allowed it and hosted it.

As long as they're happy doing it, I don't mind, though I will secretly shake my head and not understand why.

Stop making everything about yourself. Everything isn’t going to catered towards you you’re not the target demographic anyways. I don’t understand comics or legos but I still respect their right to spend their money as they see fit.

How the hell did he think he would get away with this😂

Atozy, whether you care or not, I dig you the most for identifying these fools. In the parlance of folks my age, you rock!

Maybe he can sell his Tesla to pay for his legal fees 🤣

Shoe stores are gonna hire specialists for spotting fake shoes

The worst part with infringing copyright is that the damage is assumptive. Not in favor of the defendant either. They just have to provide proof of a decent estimate based on his self snitching and 3x it.

Thank you for making it more difficult to return products that are *actually defective* 🙄

So he gave them enough evidence to sue him lol this is like the tik tok psychic again lol Edit: just watched the lawsuit part man isnt cooked or charcoal man is dust now 💀

I get a crime is a crime and he deserves to be punished. But outside of buying a real one and returning the fakes, let's be real both the real and the fakes were made in a sweatshop in China.

I really love that term” the trash took itself out” 😂

Clout is a helluva drug!

As a person that used to act a fool in my younger years I can positively state that I would never want that many people to know about my hustles not for fear of getting caught but because I didn't want my hustle to get burned out. The more often something like this happens the quicker that window gets shut, when a window gets shut someone goes down for it.

This dude just made working at a sneaker store 10 times more difficult now because they probably have to train to spot fakes from real sneakers😢

Nothing like giving the plaintiff a case on a gold platter. Rule one in a conspiracy, keep your mouth.

I used to find old shoes in various shoeboxes at a walmart i went to. People didnt even do the return hassle. Just walk in with old shoes and walk out with new ones lol

I am so thankfull for people like this. They make me feel smarter then I actually am.

He can just say he lied in the video, that he actually didnt swap the shoes.

I do not get why he didn’t think he was breaking the law? A lawsuit is the least of his troubles. He may even get arrested, and sent to jail. There’s a reason why it’s hard to get fake sneakers sent to the US. Because it’s ILLEGAL! That’s insane that he documented all of it.

its very easy to get fake sneakers sent to the US. its also been uncovered that shops sell the fakes at 'real' prices

Oh my god this is happening with dolls! Monster high dolls in particular. I see it pop up on reddit from time to time. People will buy a doll (sometimes play line, sometimes collectors) & replace it with an older version of the doll and it some how winds up back on shelves (this often happens at Walmart i noticed, but still the dolls look nothing a like? How we not clocking this???) But what makes it even wilder is some people are making custom dolls or clothes for the old dolls to make the ruse more convincing. Customs that people say are good enough quality to sell for more then what the doll is worth. I didn't know this was a bigger thing but I guess if it is happening in one place it's probably happening somewhere else too.

1:20 never knew YT added this feature, the like button glows with colors when the video says "like this video"

Plot twist: The same sweat shop that makes the counterfeit Nike shoes, actually make the REAL Nike shoes too.

The difference between people showing"dupes" they find online and talking about it and people collaborating with the actual companies making direct counterfeit copies of a product and showing it online/selling them

I bet if he sent those shoes to someone who is trained to spot fakes there would be 1000 things wrong with them.

He has those videos as well, he has just pushed it way too far this time. He started as bashing on the sneaker reselling market, resale sites and app shoe checkers. I stopped watching his channel when he started pushing fakes but he does have some good videos calling out sneaker conventions(and some bad ones like wearing fakes at a convention).

as someone who works retail, we (the people actually in store) don't care and we're trained not to kick up a fuss. loss prevention cares and is watching. linking transactions to accounts (like by scanning someones app qr code) helps deter that. they also like being able to see how fakes are made

Used to work in a shoe store here in the UK and this guy doesn’t release how common this was 10 years ago. Used to get customers come in, buy a brand new pair (of whatever brand and Nike and Adidas was the two most popular) take them home and come back in a few days to return what they’ve swapped at home. It used to work due to staff not inspecting the shoes so the store owner did probably the clearest thing to help staff spot a fake and that was load up pictures that they made on the computers we had at the tills. It would point out easy ways on noticing fakes to real ones. They was inspected and the chances of customers getting there money back for fake shoes dropped massively due to the help of those pictures. Although it caused some right arguments with customers until you mentioned the police and it was straight to the “I didn’t know this happened” blah blah lie. Edit: not only was these people stealing money from the company but hard earn workers as well as we used to get commission from selling these products. As soon as a return comes through us staff members who sold the shoe immediately lost that commission for said shoe. Honestly people who did this had zero morals.

How is he making a profit? The money he claims to making on this scam is just the money he spent.

I'm imagining what his "discreet" sunglasses with a "hidden" camera must have looked like.🤣

I just hope that employee who did the return didn’t get in trouble

If these counterfeit goods are so good why did he return them in place orf actual ones to keep true ones from Nike? He is clearly in it for the scam and not the quality of the items like he is trying to advertise. He probably could've just advertised the items as good quality knock offs without the scam.

@azuradawn5683

6 ай бұрын

That's such a good point. If he really wanted to just show that they're the same product, he should have switched the pairs and returned BOTH (also I doubt it's possible to return illegal shoes). The fact that he kept the real ones does very much imply that the fakes are lesser quality.

I wonder what would have happened to him, if he hadn't openly admitted to this crime and recorded it. Judging from his lifestyle, he went unnoticed by the law for way too long

On top of all the 3x damages he's gonna have to pay, you already know those nike lawyer fees are gonna be astronomical lol

If he made mad money from it, I would have just moved overseas too and done the returns all online/mail lol. If they can't prosecute China or another country then they can't prosecute their ppl either 😅 Its just wild he did all that

I love it when criminals post their crimes on social media. It makes it so easy for them to get arrested and found guilty.

Influencers don't seem to be the sharpest tools in the shed. You have to wonder how many are going to go down this way, and how many have their lives ended because of stupid things they have done or will do.

Never think you can get over on an entity with lawyers on the payroll.

He didn't really care about proving that the employees can't tell the difference much beyond him making money off of this. If he wanted to make this an informative experiment, he would have stopped the employee prior to the return being finalized and pointing out what he did. If he actually did that, this would be a very interesting series to watch. Showing how it would be hard to tell the fakes from the real. But he didn't do that. So that's on him.
