The veiw from here is,
PB and Sven were trying to avoid custom fees. This is not the first time PB has done this, by avoiding the fees he undercuts his competitors by selling his animals cheeper and in larger quantities. Doing this messes with supplie and demand and hurts other 'legitimate' importers wallets by stealing there business, however it would not benefit PB in the long run as he would have to sell more animals, do more work and put in more time JUST to make the same profit as if he imported them properly and sold them at market value. In reality he made more work for himself.
So what was the point PB?? you obviously fail at Smugglers Blackmarket economics, "Buy from cheap source + Cut corners + Sell at or just below market value = Maximum profit"![Embarrassed :embarrassed: :embarrassed:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
you failed miserably at maximizing you're profit margin.
So seems to me PB was trying to become a big shot name in the hobby by supplying large quantities of "cheap" Ts, it sure was not for profit. PB put forth a great effort to build a positive reputation, spending hours on the phone, quick reply times with detailed information to everyone to build a good reputation.
So again PB, what was the point?? you buildt a name for you're self as a "reputable" dealer even with you're shady past, only to mess it up by being caught again.....
Not only did you do damage to you're own name AGAIN, but the entire American HOBBY, Aswell as the European hobby. Did it make you feel like a bad ass being a Smuggler?? you shouldt since you fliped on Sven so quick and sold him out to save you're own butt.

IMO you sould take these steps:
Donate the rest of your animals to the Zoo
or
Sell out cheap, since you're so good at it.
You should also be banned from the classified section for selling known smuggled animals on these boards![Embarrassed :embarrassed: :embarrassed:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Everyone breaks the law at one time or another, accepting and owning up to the consequences is the right thing to do, PB a repeat offender and a sell out.
But what i would really like to know is this going to be on Wild Justice? :}
