Hmmm. I find this a bit strange. I can't believe for one minute that you ever thought bootlegs were legal. Ignorance of the facts is no excuse - certainly not when you decided to invest in a sh*tload of equipment. Certainly as your bootlegging empire expanded I'm sure you became fully aware of the legalities of what you're doing.

The moral of the story? If a scheme to make a load of cash looks too good to be true, then it probably is. Especially if you're pretty stupid to boot...
