When they were exposed, some of these guys ran like scared rabbits while others were sweating profusely ... it was really funny to see them squirm.
For sure, that's not his/her real name, and I did see the Dateline show where they went after these guys, but they didn't accomplish anything. Nobody busted, no goods recovered.
