Final Defendant in Fake Military Gear Scheme Gets 2 Years<\/a>

PROVIDENCE, R.I.\u00a0 \u2014 The third and final defendant in an illegal scheme to supply $20 million worth of substandard counterfeit clothing and gear made in China to the U.S. military has been sentenced to two years in prison, federal prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Terry Roe, 49, of Burlington, North Dakota, was the manager of a supplier that purchased the counterfeit apparel from the other members of the conspiracy and acted as the point of contact with supply personnel at military bases, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Rhode Island.<\/p>\n

Many of the counterfeit items, which were passed off as American-made and did not meet safety specifications, were ultimately worn or carried by Air Force personnel, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

They included more than 13,000 counterfeit jackets that were supposed to be made of a fabric difficult to detect with night vision goggles, but were not. Some gear that was supposed to be flame resistant was not.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Makes me what to get my hands on some of this clothing to see the difference.\u00a0 It’s a wonder the US Air Force personnel did not pick that up with the amount of clothing issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
