AMHERST, N.Y. (WIVB) - An Amherst man who ran a store called "Jersey Junkie" in the town has admitted to selling counterfeit NFL and NHL goods there and on his store's website.
Brian Bartoe, 36, pleaded guilty Friday to trafficking in counterfeit goods. Prosecutors say the fake jerseys, primarily Bills and Sabres, were made in China and bore counterfeit trademarks. Bartoe received them between September 2009 and April 2010 until U.S. Customs and Border Protection intercepted shipments.
The government will seek the forfeiture of $50,000 in profits Bartoe received for selling the goods. He faces a maximum sentence of ten years in prison, a fine of $2,000,000, or both when he's sentenced in May.
