Prison for man who sold fake Cisco gear to US military and hospitals
Onur Aksoy, a Florida-based supplier with dual US-Turkish citizenship, has been sentenced to over six years in prison for orchestrating an elaborate scheme that generated hundreds of millions in illicit revenue. Over nearly a decade, Aksoy established a sprawling network of at least 19 companies in the US, supported by approximately 15 Amazon storefronts and 10 eBay storefronts selling counterfeit Cisco networking equipment. His scheme exemplifies the rising sophistication of counterfeiters and the vulnerability of even robust supply chains to infiltration.
