Counterfeit Cisco Components Sold to Federal and Military Air Traffic Controllers

Brad Reese writes on the NetworkWorld "Cisco Subnet" Blog:

Two Richmond, Texas brothers are now facing felony indictments, charged with conspiracy and trafficking in counterfeit Cisco goods. Michael Edman, 36, and Robert Edman, 28, are due in court on Jan. 4 to face a federal judge.

The men are charged with importing cartons full of phony stickers with the Cisco Systems logo and attaching the stickers to imitation computer components. They are also accused of importing empty boxes with Cisco logos to package the equipment for shipment to the military and other agencies to make them appear to be the higher priced, legitimate Cisco product.
