26. this article almost seems like a joke set-up.

i'll believe that there's some serious counterfeiting going on here but if you look closely at what they actually SAID:

they're accusing them of shipping a powder that was "mostly glucose and contained no active ingredients" "hidden in a cargo of tea".

what? really? tea and... and... sugar? say it ain't so! the bastards!

oh and just to be clear, i'm sure the pic is a stock pic of aspirin.

like i said, i'm sure actual counterfeiting is going on, but the article is not very convincing!
