Exposing Celebrities' Fake Sneakers and the Counterfeit Hype Economy: Yeezy Busta

What began as an small Instagram account in high-school spiraled into a full-fledged business and career for Yeezy Busta - a sneakerhead who, after being gifted a pair of fake Yeezys in 2015, trained himself to became a skilled authenticator of real versus fake sneakers.
His fame grew as he began to expose and call out celebrities wearing fake Yeezys on his KZbin channel and Instagram page, while simultaneously authenticating Yeezys for fans and clients alike.
Though controversial, Yeezy Busta states that his message is to spread information and education on how to spot fake sneakers to help stop the support of an illegal trade - and how to not get scammed.

Idk bout your country but in Finland it is legal to make and use fakes, but it's illegal to sell or buy fakes

[@Altron1992]

You can buy/own fakes. You just can't make and resell or resell fake products.

[@pyramidion5911]

Dont kid yourself, it might technically be legal to own a fake but it is not legal to participate in buying fake goods. How much or if at all this is enforced depends on where you live, the personalities involved, and even stupid things like if the judge had a decent breakfast or not the morning of your case. And fyi people have been charged for conspiring to sell fake goods even though they were only caught purchasing. So be careful what you do online.

Yeezy Busta built his career by calling out/exposing celebrities for wearing fake sneakers, clothes & accessories. Now he is playing the victim card himself when he gets exposed for not being able to properly legit check a Yeezy sneaker on Full Size Run last year. You CANNOT call out others when you do not have the knowledge to know real vs. fake when it is literally in your hands. This whole Vice episode seemed like Yeezy Busta gave them money to create a documentary about him to help legitimize himself again after being exposed.

In the U.S., federal law protecting trademarks makes it illegal to knowingly traffic counterfeit goods, which includes the production, sale and transport of such goods. It is not illegal to buy fake shoes, only to distribute them, Misinformation.
