in my opinion after reading the first post you are confusing the facts, and making a case where 2 different people, 1 is the counterfeiter and the other is johnny law. are doing EXACTLY the same thing and only 1 of them doing it is legal.
yes they are both selling cars that can be licenses and driven on public highways. this is where the similarities end. how they are representing them is the difference.
the COUNTERFEITER was representing the cars as REAL cars with LEGITIMATE vin #'s worth the maximum possible value he could get for them..
JOHNNY LAW is representing the cars as DAMAGED goods with NON FACTORY vin tags. he is also representing the cars as POSSIBLE ORIGINAL cars but they will be forever be tainted as POSSIBLE NON ORIGINAL FAKE cars. because of this they will never be worth as much as a original car with clean paperwork.
in my opinion there is a light years difference between the 2 scenarios.
On every point you just made. One is fraud, the other isn't. There is a difference.
