Same here. I’d like to know the story, but can’t manage the videos.

"Same here. I’d like to know the story, but can’t manage the videos."

To sum up, he ran a small business selling/propagating imported orchids out of a small backyard greenhouse. Aware of the numerous laws affecting imports, especially imports of plants, he boned up on the laws and tried to comply with them. When required by law, he obtained certification from the exporter that the plants were in compliance with all pertinent laws, including laws prohibiting wild harvesting.

One day his house was raided by a small army of feds, who claimed that some of his plants violated some law. He claimed the plants were mislabeled or misidentified by the exporter. He could not afford full legal representation, so pleaded guilty and spent 17 months in prison.
