@tobi @harleyf surely there's easier ways to take down these copycats? I've been trying to deal with Shopify legal (copyright and trademark) for a week now to take down a copycat site hosted on Shopify with a domain name one letter off from ours.

[Mark Ritz 🥩 @ritzfit]

Anyone know a good Internet enforcement/brand protection Lawyer for cyber security/cyber crime attorney?

@tobi these copycat websites getting built on Shopify stealing peoples credit cards information is getting out of hand.

This is the #1 in Sports Nutrition Endurance & Energy Supplements on Amazon. It also is the #2 best selling creatine gummy on Amazon (by volume) having sold at least 50,000 units across all flavors and sizes over the last month,

It also happens to be a creatine gummy with no creatine in it, as confirmed by testing done at a leading lab. No creatine.

But hey, maybe you dont trust the lab tests. Let's take a look at the SFP and see if these could possibly have creatine in them. This brand claims to have 5000mg of creatine monohydrate per serving and a serving size of two gummies. Thats 2500mg of creatine per gummy. There's only one issue: each gummy weighs less than 2500mg in total! Generally creatine should make up about 30% of the total gummy weight. In this, case it makes up over 100% (which is uhh impossible.) This is just blatant.

I have been flagging this to Amazon for months via email and live meetings with relatively senior folks but this brand still continues to sell fake and potentially harmful product to unsuspecting American customers. This is a Chinese company (address is: NO. 99 KING FUK STREET.SANPOKONG.KOWLOON RM D07.8/F .KAI TAK FTY BUILDING, Hong Kong CHINA 518000) selling fake, potentially dangerous product to stadiums full of Americans every month. Amazon has done nothing about it and is even (if just algorithmically) rewarding this brand with the "Amazon's Choice" badge.

If you have a friend at Amazon, send this to them.

@LordCatoshi @FitFounder iHerb typically partners directly with the brands; no 3rd party sellers.

@FitFounder @NickLuto @damccormick13 Gummies are very hard to test depending on the ingredients. Not a lot of good methods available for testing a gummy matrix.

Another 50% tariff on this order would add $90k in tariffs on it, bringing the new total to $191,000 in tariffs

Which pretty much means it’d be worth abandoning this shipment and shutting down the physical product side of our business.

And for anyone who cares, we are the highest quality brand for products for kids with special needs.

Trump’s tariffs will decimate small toy/game businesses.

We’re being forced to front $400K in tariffs—before we can even sell during the holidays.

We fund new products + marketing in the first 9 months. The holidays are our payoff.

Most won’t survive the year

[Casey Ames @caseyames]

We have an order in currently with our factory that in 2024 would have been $4,707 in tariffs

After "Liberation Day" it'll be $101,673 and will be due about June 15th, right when it hits the US Port

How is anyone supposed to plan for this? Especially small businesses like mine?

[Skye @skyechilton]

@tferriss @BrandSanderson Amazing episode. I was wondering when this was going to happen. Thank you both.

[Sean Frank @Seanfrank]

Amazon is a broken mess.
I have done over $50,000,000 on amazon.
They dont care about me as a seller, partner, or person.

I uploaded this design patent

Was told “stop contacting me”

What went wrong inside amazon?
why do they hate small businesses and the law?

Kinder Morgan Pipeline has an average of 1.53 spills per year. It’s not worth the risk.

[Skye @skyechilton]
