Federal investigators raided the offices of Lumber Liquidators on Thursday, the company and authorities said.
Stocks of the hardwood flooring retailer fell sharply on Friday as the news emerged, dropping just over 10% at midday.
No arrests were made and the search warrants remain sealed, said Brandon Montgomery, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security. He said the search involved special agents from the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of Justice.
Lumber Liquidators (LL) suggested the investigation involved its importation of wood products, which come from "approximately 110 domestic and international mills around the world."

Can you say, "Banana Republic?" Si, se puede!
What, Capitalists in the markets don't like gesappo tactics of emperor 0bama's regime?
I thought search warrants only remained sealed on matters of national security or imminent threat. Have I been misled?
Dollars to donuts this is another phony raid to keep the Greenie Base happy. It will be something to do with some endangered tree growing in some jungle someplace.
That’s my bet.
Drug dealers, open borders where jihadist freely come across to kill Americans. We have time to investigate a company who make boards, but we cannot proceed to investigate Benghazi, IRS, NSA and other tyrannies Obama has wrought. Lets get Gibson! Lets get Lumber liquidators! But the others are phony scandals. I would rather have hidabeast than this monster.
hey pubbies ... wann'a unfund my obamascare?
Watch THIS ...
The CEO and/or owners of Lumber Liquidators must not be Obama supporters.
“WHADDA MEAN I CAN’T BUY ANYTHING?!?!”
Well, all the businesses had to shut down because the government made it so that they couldn’t make any evil profit. You better learn some hunting and gathering.
Scratch that, hunting harms the animals.
No gathering, you might eat a rare species of plant.
Just go home and starve and freeze and let your elite betters live like kings as they tell you how you are ruining the planet for them.
Yes, exactly.
Why the /s tag? You’re probably spot on.
They raided Gibson on the pretense of “illegal wood”, but that was all at the behest of the unions.
Our leftist government hates private enterprise. Under communist dogma, all the means of production must be in the hands of the government.
They can’t seize it all just yet. This is their way of showing us what they think of the producers.
I don’t know—their founder hosted a fundraiser with Obama:

Maybe he stopped giving.
Our government is more interested in where wood comes from, than where our INHABITANTS come from. This is Gibson Guitar all over again. Our THUG GOVERNMENT needs to be liquidated.
It could still be a backdoor to undermining Rush’s advertisers. Sends a signal to his other advertisers, too..
But what do the RINOS do? They tremble and cower and "reach across the aisle" to make deals with them- deals that bring great harm to the American people.
They do raids on people designed to invoke fear, and compliance, as they take away our freedoms.
Who can we go to about these outrageous abuses?
Certainly not these spineless, useless, bast@rds in the RINO party.
Yep, advertising with Rush is enough to send Obama’s monkeys flying.
Apologies to Solzhenitsyn.
For the senseless murder of cute little innocent trees!
Just like Gibson Guitar.
Didn’t grease the right pockets.
