LOS ANGELES – A Los Angeles man pleaded guilty Monday to trafficking in counterfeit goods for bringing hundreds of bogus, Chinese-made Ab Circle Pro machines and related items into the United States.
Sok Hun Jin, who also uses the name “Eric Jin,” 36, pleaded guilty to trafficking in counterfeit goods. The charges stem from an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
In a plea agreement filed in federal court, Jin admitted he was responsible for illegally bringing more than 2,000 bogus Ab Circle Pro machines into the United States. The counterfeit equipment was made in the People’s Republic of China and came to the United States in four containers last year. The retail value of the counterfeit goods is estimated to be approximately $650,000. Separate packages with fake DVDs, manuals and stickers were also shipped from China into the United States.
