YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY YOU WERE SORRY. DO YOU HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE? YOU'VE LEFT WASTE IN PLACES LIKE MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, ST. LOUIS. HEADED TO PRISON BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID WITH COMPUTERS THAT PUT LIVES AT RISK. IT IS A LANDMARK CASE AND ONLY LOCAL 4 WAS IN COURT TODAY. A LOCAL MAN SENTENCED TO TWO-AND-A-HALF YEARS IN PRISON. THAT HAPPENED TODAY FOR HIS PART IN THIS INTRICATE SCAM THAT INVOLVES ELECTRONIC WASTE. AND IT IS POSSIBLE ONE OF YOUR OLD COMPUTERS AT HOME OR WORK COULD BE INVOLVED IN THE SCHEME THAT STRETCHES ALL THE WAY FROM CANTON TO EGYPT. NOW, THIS IS A STORY THAT INVOLVES COUNTERFEITING AND DISPOSING HAZARDOUS WASTE, MAKING IT THE FIRST E-WASTE CONVICTION IN THE COUNTRY. I WAS THERE AFTER THE SENTENCE WAS HANDED DOWN AND THE BUSINESSMAN LEFT THE COURT. YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY YOU WERE SORRY. DO YOU HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE? 44-YEAR-OLD MARK GLOVER WALKS OUT OF FEDERAL COURT, KNOWING I'M HAVE TO SPEND THE NEXT 30 MONTHS BEHIND BARS AND PAY A FINE OF MORE THAN $2 MILLION. GLOVER PLED GUILTY TO TRAFFICKING IN COUNTERFEIT GOODS AND ILLEGALLY STORING AND DISPOSING OF HAZARDOUS WASTE. YOU LEFT WASTE IN PLACES LIKE MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, ST. LOUIS. THE WASTE YOU LEFT COULD HAVE GOTTEN PEOPLE SICK. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT GOING TO TURN A BLANK EYE TO THE EXPLOIT OF E-WASTE TO SOMEONE'S BENEFIT. THE TOXIC TRAIL OF DECEPTION STARTS HERE IN CANTON AT DISCOUNT COMPUTERS INCORPORATED, WHERE GLOVER WOULD BUY OLD COMPUTERS FROM BUSINESSES WHO ARE WANTING TO GET RID OF THE WASTE. THERE'S A MARKET FOR THIS TYPE OF MERCHANDISE, WHETHER IT'S FOR THE RECOVERY OF THE PRECIOUS METALS THAT ARE IN IT OR RESALE OF THOSE COMPUTERS. ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS, BETWEEN MAY OF 2007 AND JULY OF 2011, GLOVER EXPORTED USED MONITORS TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES, INCLUDING EGYPT. BECAUSE EGYPTIAN CUSTOMS DID NOT PERMIT IMPORT OF USED MONITORS MORE THAN FIVE YEARS PATCH THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE, GLOVER AND HIS CREW CREATED COUNTERFEIT LABELS AND ATTACHED THEM TO THE MONITORS BEFORE THEY WERE EXPORTED. BY COUNTERFEITING THESE LABELS, HE WAS ABLE TO EXPORT WORKING MONITORS THAT WERE NO LONGER WANTED HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT HAD A VALUE IN EGYPT, AND HE PROFITED TO THE TUNE EVER 5.5 MILLION DOLLARS. HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATORS, ALONG WITH INVESTIGATORS FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, WORKED ON THIS LANDMARK CASE. IT'S SOMETHING THAT OUR AGENCY TAKES SERIOUSLY. STACKS AND STACKS OF COMPUTERS WERE FOUND NOT ONLY IN GLOVER'S CANTON WAREHOUSE. I BELIEVE THERE'S MORE THAN 300 SHIPMENTS THAT WENT TO EGYPT BETWEEN THE PERIOD OF 2007 AND APPROXIMATELY 2011. BUT HE ALSO LEFT TOXIC WASTE AT WAREHOUSE IN HIS NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA, AND MISSOURI. THE COMPUTERS THEMSELVES CONTAIN TOXIC ELEMENTS, SUCH AS LEAD AND HEAVY METALS. THOSE HEAVY METALS, THEY CAN DO SEVERE DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY TO YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM. CAROL SAYS THE HAZARD WAS HERE IN THE U.S., AS WELL AS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES WHERE THE COMPUTERS WERE DISMANTLED FOR THEIR PARTS MANY TIMES BY CHILDREN. IT CAN ALSO LEAD TO GROUNDWATER AND THE AIR, AND THAT'S THE LEAST DANGEROUS. CHILDREN COULD HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS LEAD EXPOSURE. THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY, MARK. SERIOUSLY, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY? CAUSING WORLDWIDE POLLUTION AND IT'S DOING IT AT THE PROFIT OF OTHERS. MARK GLOVER HAS GOTTEN HIS FAIR SHARE OF BAD PUBLICITY AND HEADLINES. LIKE THESE ARTICLES COMPLAINING ABOUT HIM AND HIS BUSINESS ON THE RIPOFF REPORT. THIS PHOTO OF GOVERNOR FRONT OF A PYRAMID ALSO MENTIONED IN THE COMPLAINT IN HOW GLOVER DID BUSINESS. HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING, IN MY OPINION, AND CERTAINLY HE HAS PLED THAT HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING AND HE HAD A SYSTEM DOWN AND IT WORKED WELL. THAT'S WHY HE MADE 5.5 MILLION DOLLARS. THAT'S YOU CAN SAY IS GET AWAY? YOU HAVE NO AN DOING? IT SENDS A MESSAGE TO OTHERS OUT THERE WHO WOULD BE DOING THE SAME THING THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE TOLERATED. HE MAY PROFIT TODAY, BUT WE'LL COME AND GET YOU TOMORROW. AND DURING THE SENTENCING, THE JUDGE SAID HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE SENTENCE HE HANDED DOWN WOULD SERVE AS A DETERRENT SO OTHERS WOULD NOT COMMIT THIS CRIME. SO HOW DO CONSUMERS MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE GETTING RID OF THEIR COMPUTERS AND PHONES THE RIGHT WAY?
