Thank you, Chair, and to our guests.
Mr. Giddens, you've been awfully quiet. I'd like to bring you into the conversation, if we can.
In your combined presentation a reference was made to organized crime and the connection with counterfeit or pirated goods. I think it was mostly along the line of counterfeit goods.
Would you have any comments? Is that anecdotal? We all have the sense that there could be some connection to organized crime. We've talked about that respecting various types of products and industries. But I'm curious: is this anecdotal, or do you have any real specifics whereby you can confirm, either as a result of charges or filings or litigation or something, or whereby you somehow can attribute to organized crime a counterfeit product that has been brought in?
