The Worst Amazon Horror Story I Have Ever Heard

According to the article he really did sell a counterfeit item.
Presumably accidentally, and perhaps the punishment does not fit the crime, but he can't claim complete innocence here.
And this demonstrates that he doesn't understand how amazon works:
> When we sent out all of our items to the FBA program, they all went to 2 different Amazon warehouses. Now that I’m receiving them back, guess what? So far, the new sealed product has arrived back from 9 different warehouses. Yep, they’re sending back someone else’s new sealed items to me.
NO! Amazon has a program where they internally distribute items to warehouses all over the US to increase shipping speed. It does not mean they are shipping someone else's items back to you.
Look I know I'm getting downmodded, but I've read these types of things before and people always spin things to their benefit, but it's usually possible to see thought it. And here it's easier than usual.
Amazon clearly said: "No commingling." His response? Amazon must be in cahoots with the studio. No, there is a much simpler explanation: He messed up and sold a counterfeit item.
It was clearly a mistake and he should have apologized for the error and pledged to check even better instead of claiming no error.
Some signed some kind of agreement with amazon, has tens of thousands of items in their warehouses, and is running a business where amazon is basically responsible for everything.
Amazon decides to drop them.
The reasoning sounds unfair, but this business is unable or unwilling to pay for lawyers, and didn't consider what would happen in the event the relationship ended and there was still stock in the warehouse?
That sounds like a failure on the part of the seller to me.
But yeah, you can't run a real business if you can't pay for things like lawyers.
