People never plead guilty unless they have done the crime. I was in the court when she was sentenced. Her fake tears made me sick and apparently they made the judge sick as well because he threw the book at her. "I don't think she has any money put away, anywhere", that is a direct quote from the FBI agent who worked the case. If she did I would be amazed because I think her family had to beg, borrow, and steal to get enough for lawyers. A basic rule to use when dealing with Lillian is this...whatever she says is a lie, period. If she says she has money...she does not. If she says she paid tuition...she did not. She still tells people she is innocent after pleading guilty to the charges...what an asshole. She got 6 years for wire fraud (she plead guilty btw).

At the same time, while they probably didn't have a million different toys at any one store, there probably were close to a million pieces of stock on hand at one store somewhere, and there's at least a chance that the whole company stocked a million different toys.
