Nintendo fans just got TRICKED — and the fallout is a $2 million Amazon scam.
Authorities have arrested a New York man accused of selling fake Nintendo Switch and Pokémon GO accessories on Amazon, calling it a “small but sophisticated” counterfeit operation.

According to prosecutors, Isaac Lapidus imported knockoff docks, adapters, and Pokémon GO Plus devices from overseas — then flipped them as “authentic” Nintendo gear online.
Officials say these fakes aren’t just scams — they can be dangerous fire hazards that put your console and home at risk.

This case shows how counterfeit gaming gear hurts both fans and the industry — and why it’s getting harder to tell real Nintendo accessories from the fakes.
