Brothers Charged in Massive Counterfeit Ring That Made THC Vaping Cartridges

[Turd Fergusen]

Two brothers in Wisconsin have been charged in a large-scale counterfeit ring that manufactured thousands of THC vaping cartridges a day – believed to be one of the largest of its kind nationwide, authorities said.

Tyler Huffhines, 20, and 23-year-old brother Jacob Huffhines flew to California on Labor Day weekend with a plan for Tyler to use $300,000 he packed in a suitcase to buy 40 to 50 jars of THC oil for an illegal vaping manufacturing business that pumped out as many as 5,000 counterfeit cartridges a day, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Some were labeled with names like Chronic Sour Patch and the batch included fruit-flavored varieties.

Tyler Huffhines admitted launching the multimillion-dollar scheme in January 2018 after seeing a potential moneymaker in THC vape cartridges sold in California for $2.50 apiece, which he could then flip in Wisconsin for $15 each, prosecutors allege.

Strange, but when I saw the head shot my immediate reaction was, "She looks like a real estate agent."

"She looks like a real estate agent."

And a beaver.

It is looking more and more like contaminants in black market vape cartridges like these are going to end up being the cause of the sudden rash of lung illnesses sweeping the country. They found contaminants in about 80% of illegal cartridges they tested. No contaminants found so far in legal cartridges (THC or nicotine) according to an article I read yesterday. So the outright bans of everything vape related seem to be premature.

Not bad. But do I have to let her graze or hang a feedbag around her neck before I saddle her.

And a beaver.

The two observations are related.

She looks like an ex real estate agent now.

Her lack of an upper lip and ginormous teeth makes me think of all the unfortunate recipients of her head game.

Those teeth look like mail-order dentures that don't fit quite right.
