Guilty Plea in California Yu-Gi-Oh! Prosecution
A Los Angeles man pleaded guilty Tuesday to a felony count of attempted trafficking in counterfeit goods, reports the Monterey Herald. Luis Alfonso Lopez Canche, charged with attempting to sell more than $1 million of counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, probably manufactured in China, faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $2 million. In March 2005, Lopez agreed to sell 115,000 decks of the popular Yu-Gi-Oh! cards to federal agents, the government said. The government investigation grew out of a private investigation conducted by Upper Deck, owner of the Yu-Gi-Oh! trademarks. (Yu-Gi-Oh! is one of the best selling trading card games in the United States.)
