The vice president of a Virginia seafood company pleaded guilty in federal court this week to passing off 183 tons of foreign crab meat as US-raised blue crab. The crabmeat involved in the 5-year-long bait-and-switch amounted to a wholesale value of $4.3M.

It's safe to say 183 tons is a lot of crab meat. It's certainly a lot of crabmeat to import from other countries and repackage as U.S.-raised blue crab.

The vice president of a Virginia seafood company pleaded guilty in federal court this week to taking part in this weighty scam. According to a release from the Department of Justice, Michael P. Casey of Casey's Seafood admitted to conspiring with others within the company to falsely label imported crab meat and re-sell it to grocery stores and retailers. All in all, the crabmeat involved in the five-year-long bait-and-switch amounted to a wholesale value of $4.3 million. G.

Sounds like the Democrat policy of bait and switch. Free stuff for you vote. We wont tell you how that will work though.

So the crabs I had at Joe’s Crab Shack shack weren’t domestic?

Eat a crab every morning and eat a crab every evening, it will be good for you, eat a crab while sleeping at night, it will bring you good sleep,

If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'! Same in business as in racin'!

And every Marylander is like “see I told you those mofos in Virginia don’t have real motherfucking crab!”

Now what the bitter company is doing, all the crab is the same, first to eat the crabs, boil it in salt water for about 40 hours, then put that water into a little vodka, then it will reach the water and crab by seven weeks.
