Erik “Rolex” Boneta’s company Boneta, Inc. has agreed to forfeit over $1,9 million worth of illegally imported Rolex watches and to pay a $325,000 penalty.
Boneta tried to import some “gray market” Rolex watches from Hong Kong through John F. Kennedy International Airport when the law enforcement noticed the illegal watches.
Boneta attempted to sell the cheap watches in USA for much higher price. After the shipment was seized, Homeland Security Investigation agents conducted an investigation to Boneta’s offices and seized in excess of 200 Rolex watches and hundreds of other watch parts.
“Our goal is to put an end to the ability of companies like Boneta, Inc., to perpetrate such illegal conduct,” said James T. Hayes, Jr., Special Agent-in-Charge of HSI in New York.
"Gray market" significa que son solo ilegalmente importados, comprados a vendedores oficiales que no pueden vender tantos como les obliga Rolex (la compañía de relojes, no Boneta :D) y que sinó se los comen porque tampoco los pueden vender al público con más de un 20% de descuento.
