IN CHINA, fake goods are often investigated by fake investigators. From the Associated Press:

One of the world’s largest consumer goods companies hired an investigator to track down counterfeit anti-dandruff shampoo. But instead of finding real counterfeiters, the investigator, Wang Yunming, set up a factory to produce counterfeit shampoo himself, which he then “seized” and billed to the firm as a successful raid, according to two employees involved in the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of losing their jobs.

It wasn’t the first such factory Wang founded. It was the fourth.
