Summary:
From piracy to counterfeiting to cargo theft, organized retail crime has exploded into a $38 billion industry. Synchronized global teams of thieves are pilfering immense volumes of high-value products, counterfeiting even more -- and using the profits to support the world's most vicious terrorists and criminal gangs. Business reporter Hitha Prabhakar follows the money deep into the world's fastest-growing criminal industry. You'll learn how buying something as innocent as a counterfeit handbag or discounted cigarettes actually funds terrorist groups from Al-Qaeda to Central America's drug lords.
