I was getting a bit of work done during the 3 months I was away (was still a dreadful 3 months). For those of you that don't know, my brother owns a retail site, AC Electronic Outlet; it's down at the moment so you can't access it. Nonetheless, that's not exactly the issue at hand.
Senior year of high school, he knew a security guard who has partial share of a large third party Apple retailer in Poland. No idea how the conversation started since I wasn't there but it sounds very promising, almost too good to be true (like one of those once in a lifetime deals). Prices of Apple products are very expensive in Europe, which is why they say they're taking advantage.
Gets a bit confusing. My brother is essentially acting as a middleman and getting paid. He has a license with another Apple distributor based in CA whom supplies from Apple. Apple ships the stuff (or so I hear) but first has to go to my brothers US address. The Europeans are paying a substantial amount of money, approximately $160,000 on their first deal with him - eight pallets of product consisting of iPads and iPhones. They're paying the sales tax here, 20% VAT tax to Poland, and still managing to score a profit. The money is in my brother's possession but apparently, the Europeans have access. Full $160,000 in a local bank, whom my friend works for and couldn't find the transaction. Now, there are twelve partners for the Apple stores in Poland so it could be a simple name mistake. I just don't want my brother to get scammed for something in the six-figures (he's also very nieve). He'd turn a profit of about $20,000 on this order IF it works. I have plans of partnering with him and we're still in the negotiation process. Does this sound too good to be true? Sorry, might be a bit scattered...
