$11.74 million is what they're asking for. 835 Distilleries either fell for the hoax, or decided to extract money from the retards who did.

Selling a product to those who want it has hardly anything to do with falling for a hoax. Although yea.. probably many of them did.

I will say though that I use the stuff as a cleaner/solvent in the printing industry and even though I keep a decent stock of the stuff I still needed to get another jug from one of these independent providers this last year. So it does rub me the wrong way that the feds would punish people for supplying the need. Of course, I already despised the feds.
