But they wouldn't do this, beause the fake good industry is a huge part of their business. They're far from an innocent middle man.
It's not that they don't have any idea, it's because it's a difficult problem to address. It's not just the cost of having that one employee, you have to train him. And you've got to pay someone to keep up with what's current and what's fake; fakes change all the time. And you've got to keep everyone trained. And you've got to do it for every single brand, since if you do it for LV but not Nike, Nike will sue you.

All to do law enforcement's job for them.
