Dirty Doings Alleged in Giant Clams
SEATTLE (CN) - A Chinese company complains of brazenly dirty doings in the seafood business, including forgery of bank and government letters, "coercion and subterfuge," and a coverup carried out with compromising photos.
...
Gwai claims the defendants, its U.S. geoduck suppliers, scammed money using "coercion and subterfuge," forged letters from Bank of America and the Washington Department of Natural Resources, and coerced a company rep to sign off on the con by obtaining compromising photos of him.
The geoduck (pronounced gooey duck) is a giant clam found in the Pacific Northwest. It is one of the longest-living animals on Earth, sometimes surviving for 150 years or more.
Gwai says it agreed to buy wild geoduck from Cloudstone (CITC) for distribution in Hong Kong, and advanced money for the harvesting operations in exchange for a reduced price.
