I own some retail businesses in Brazil and this morning when I got to one of them where I have my office, there was a big truck, a couple of police cars and a car from the Brazilian IRS. They informed me that they'd need to block the street in front of my store for awhile while they undertook an operation.
Shortly thereafter I saw several illegal Chinese mafia dudes being escorted out of a neighboring office building/warehouse and the tax authorities began impounding hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal merchandise, namely knock offs of major tennis shoe brands. Throughout the entire country of Brazil today until Friday the authorities are trying hard to clean the illegal Chinese mafia out of the country. Hopefully they'll get done soon because this freaking impound truck is really blocking the visual of my store, which hurts the bottom line during this peak Christmas season. :depressed
Major props to Brazil!
As a precautionary measure, I called my accountant to make sure my invoices etc. were in order just in case they decide to crack down on the American gang. :lol
