A man in Taipei County's Pan Chiao Nan Ya Night Market had publicly sold Show Lo's registered brand name "STAGE" unauthentic merchandise. Yesterday, the police had gone to the store front to investigate. A total of 43 of these t-shirts were confiscated and the man was taken back the the police station for interrogation. The police expressed that this brand can only be sold in legal authorized store fronts, so it will definitely not be exhibited at a night market booth, if the masses find low-quality, inexpensive version of the product, they need to be more wary to prevent from getting swindled.

Market value exceeds $100,000

Last month, suspect Chiang Ching Cheng (68) under the name of his wife, had rented a booth at Pan Chiao's Nan Ya Night Market to sell unauthentic brand name clothing. He said, at the time there was an anonymous male urged him to sell celebrity Show Lo's registered STAGE clothing, and kept boasting, "I guarantee, it's going to be a big seller!" With the incentive of that spur of the moment, he stocked up with the merchandise, buying it at $280 per piece, and then re-selling it for $599. The suspect not only sold the product for very cheap, but also allowed his customers to bargain, thus business was fairly good.
After learning news about an affiliate Show Lo's "future office," a report was made to the police. Last night at7, the police brought in a squadron to interrogate, confiscating 43 unauthentic clothing wear, marketing value of over $100,000, thus brought the suspect back to the station for further interrogation, handing him over to the justice.

Spoiler:

i almost feel bad for this guy.
he looks so innocent.. and he 68 for goodness sake.. poor old man...
i mean he's at fault for selling this unauthentic stuff...
but i hope they get to the bottom of it.. and find the guy that sold it to him...

Yer I agree with you he was old n so poor
Maybe Show forgive him because the old man was instigate by another person

yeah..i agree with stina,

even though it was wrong for this man to sell unauthentic clothing,
it was more wrong for the anonymous person that provided the clothing
i think its more important to find the anonymous person to stop him from spreading the unauthentic clothing and he deserves to be punished instead.

hope this old man doesn't get punished TOO harshly

but why does that annoymous man wanna ask ppl to sell show's things ?? why does he only like ask ppl to sell show's things and not other brands as well ... there are also many other famous brands around too , as MR pig always say..burberry etc.

ANGRYYYYY.
but i think once something is in, you can't really prevent imitations of it. like LV & all. so taking another perspective, this mean something positive too right?

Hmm...I don't necessarily feel angry...
I don't know...but like, is it illegal to sell fake stuff?
Because there's like a million people out there selling fake designer stuff like Coach, Chanel, etc.

Yeah, well, sucks to be this guy.

LoL of course it's illegal to sell fake stuff..
it's just, like you said.. millions of those people out there selling them...
so they just gave up trying to catch them..

i agree it sucks to be this guy.. especially when Show personally went up to him.. lmfao.. how awkward.

Why did he do like this? - ( not only him )
I also saw Show's STAGE cloth in China O^O

wonder.. Why did show make a brand name that call 'stage' x*D

it's actually called STAGE HYALINE OF WORLD.

S.H.O.W

but they just call it "STAGE" for short.

what does hyaline mean ?? I have asked my teachers in school but most of them say that they hvaen ot come across this word before...

^ Hyaline is related to stuff with glass-like appearance. That's what it said on wikipedia, lol.

Maybe that's why he created the design of those little diamond/crystal shaped drinks?

Haha, I don't know.

THX~!! most probably its that reason. Thanks for searching what that word means..

why can't people stop this!!! ANGRYYY!!!!

but hyaline is not english right? i was looking in lexicon and it does not exist

Then what word is hyaline? Maybe its french or something...do we have someone from our forum that uses this language and can explain to us ..please~!! =)

LoL hyaline is english..

hyaline means transparent...

Show intended for STAGE HYALINE OF WORLD to mean "the transparent stage of the world" in chinese it's 世界的透明舞台 [shi jie de tou ming wu tai]

meaning... the whole world is his stage..

Hope that straightened things out for you guys

wowzers.. that makes all the sense =P

thanks for the clarification, stina =)

ya.. thanks alot..
now it makes sense for the whole STAGE brand thing~
now i know how it connects..
:p
