Fake Indian jewelry leads to real legal trouble

摘要

In March 2017, the late Arizona resident Richard Nisbet sent an alarming email to two overseas compatriots."Google this. Prosecution fake Indian jewelry," Nisbet wrote. "People are going to court right now."But Nisbet's cautionary note, later found by investigators and folded into an indictment, didn't stop the international scheming.This month, capping a yearslong investigation by the Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies, Nisbet's daughter and two other individuals were sentenced for conspiring to fraudulently sell imported jewelry from the Philippines.
