Agreed - the title is obvious link-bait, and they mention "thousands of upstanding citizens" rotting in jail before giving very selective information about just two examples which seem to me as rather complex in nature - abandonment of dangerous materials and selling prohibited trade species.

Maybe I'm from a repressed generation, but it seems to me like common sense to consult a lawyer before starting a business, especially if it's "selling rare orchids to make some cash on the side".

And getting outraged over Fox News trash reporting is such a reddit cliché, guys, give me a break.
