Palisades Park man sentenced to time served for role in counterfeit-goods ring
NEWARK – A federal judge showed leniency toward a Bergen County man on Thursday, sentencing him to time served after determining that while he made “a series of bad choices,” he was not a main player in a $325 million counterfeit goods ring.Dao Feng Shi, of Palisades Park, admitted in a plea deal last year to conspiring or attempting to traffic in counterfeit goods. He said ordered Ugg labels and attempted to stick them on about 300 non-brand-name boots to get rid of surplus merchandise from his shoe and accessory business. That act was unrelated to the large counterfeit operation, said his attorney, Lawrence Welle.
