> But surely Amazon is literally handling stolen goods? Is there a smoking gun email?

If Amazon were a mom and pop fence, the local cops could bust them in a sting. But Amazon is a huge megacorp, so even if the cops try to catch them in a sting nothing will stick because Amazon will claim their shear scale rendered them completely oblivious to everything and therefore not criminally culpable.

Yeah, it's bullshit.

If you can identify your stolen goods at a local or huge chain pawn shop and your local police feel like helping you can absolutely be made whole by following a process.

If you can prove Amazon has or sold your stolen goods you can absolutely be made whole by following a process.

I don’t really think our system errs on the side of justice but I think the remedies available to victims in these two scenarios are about appropriate to the respective scenarios.

I mean, RICO was designed for this sort of use case. But Amazon does have lucrative deals with the intelligence community.
