They are smuggling garbage! hehehehe... only the liberal environmental crazies could make it profitable to smuggle garbage!

The market price for recycled aluminum is about $950 a ton... but the Socialist State of California will pay an artificial price of $2500 per ton. Recyclable plastic soda bottles have a market price of $95 a ton... the SSofC will pay $950 a ton!

These business people have found a cheap source of a commodity that the Socialist State of California seems to value above what it costs. They have ingeniously set them selves up as suppliers of that commodity to the state. What is criminal about this????

Perhaps the crime is COUNTERFEITING garbage? The cans and bottles may not have the CALIFORNIA recycling logo on them.

You can get out on bail much less than $2,500,000.00 for crimes of violence...

This is strange, I keep hearing that recycling doesn't make money.

Sue the state in Federal court. Interstate commerce clause.

First of all, this is not that ingenious, and Kramer and Newman on Seinfield attempted a similar scam by trying to take their NY cans and redeem them in MI where they go for 10 cents, rather than NY's 5.

Personally, I don't have a problem with this, except that they were taking welfare checks while doing it.
