ICE seizes more sites

John Moe Feb 14, 2011

18 sites accused of trafficking in counterfeit goods were seized by the office Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Just in time for Valentine’s Day. So if you were hoping a fake designer handbag would win her heart, sorry. You’ll have to write poetry or something.

This is all part of Operation In Our Sites. We did a story about this when some sports-related sites were shut down just before the Super Bowl.
