Interestingly, there was a similar story on Dr Phil last year about a 
couple that was doing this there and hadn't been caught.

quote:
Assistant Commissioner Catherine Burn said police would allege the 
syndicate had been in operation for some time, selling 6000 items for 
$1.3 million.

"We further allege those behind the operation laundered the proceeds 
of a fraudulent credit card racket, stealing from the accounts of 
innocent people and then filtering the money through unsuspecting 
online shopping sites," Ms Burn said.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or
