I originally said “robsters” from the old chich n Chong movie up in smoke with peewee Herman “no robsters, how bout squid”. But not is sure has a new meaning

Damn good deal...now we know why I guess lol. The real prices of the place Sea Salt lobster still has some decent pricing on 12 & 24 packs I think, I haven’t looked much locally tho.

Looking at old pics got me itching to get some more that’s for sure.

Looks like I may need to start paying Wickowick commissions! I'm still shocked that this thread has been the reason for at least 100 successful orders to date. Thanks everyone, Lobstaman


Lots of "robsters" were sold through the TD thread

Thank goodness I didn’t get anything, otherwise the FBI might have been knocking on my door.

If to take shipping out of the equation and go off what he charged it was like 7.50/lb. so that would be roughly 200,000 robsters to make 1.5mil.

If he sold at least a dozen at a time, Wick is responsible for a minimum of 1200 robsters

likely 1.5MM is the estimated retail value of the lobsters that were appropriated. the way i read the article:

-the perp (who was the manager responsible for shipping lobsters) set up a phony wholesale customer
-the phony customer then starts ordering lobsters from the wholesaler, and then sets up an e-commerce website
-the perp has the lobsters re-directed and shipped to retail customers (at the near-wholesale price) using fake return addresses, and pockets the coin (the difference between the wholesale price and the discounted sale price)

so without the overhead, his sales over the internet were pure profit, and as far as the wholesaler knew, the lobsters were being shipped to a legitimate customer

And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling kids.

No it's not. Insider knowledge here. This is the guy TD folks were buying their under-priced lobsters from.

That judg is worthless. The company they got it against is defunct. Trial against the individual family members is next year.

Lobster only taste decent bc of the addition of butter.
