No, but wildlife smuggling is the worst imo.

"Illegal Importing". Smuggling makes him sound like a pirate, and pirates ARE cool.

I would argue that human smuggling (trafficking) is the worst.

If SWC and it's owner go under, how will any fines from the sentence be paid?

The sentence the crown is pursuing includes both jail time and fines. I had read one article recently that indicates that both the owner and the company have been found guilty.

Anyhoo . . . it is a perfectly good little skimmer. I didn't feel great about receiving mine as a gift, and I probably wouldn't have chosen one for myself at the time. I would now though. It is a good skimmer at a good price point, and at least if the company survives there is a chance that any cash the company/he is told to pay out actually might be paid out.

The government will garnish wages from wherever he finds a job. I won't buy another SWC unless it's used. It's really too bad though because they really are good skimmers. Mine perform quite well.

That depends who is fined . . . SWC or himself personally. It looks like either could be a possibility. If SWC is fined, and it is an independent corporate entity, garnishing his future wages would recoup nothing as it can't legally be done.
