@XiaoShao They have extremely healthy margins. Given the direct-to-consumer nature of their website, they have the single best margins of anyone in the physical space. "Fraud by misrepresenting scarcity" is a classic practice that has existed long before LRG.
As for this article itself, it should be updated to reflect that LRG did not refute the license violation accusation. This twitter post seems to sum everything up much better than your article, which takes LRG's claims to have cleaned up their mess at face value despite all evidence to the contrary.
@XiaoShao How is the notion that LRG increases demand by positioning releases as "high value collectable items" convoluted? Misrepresenting scarcity of items aimed at collectors is so straightforward and simple that I can't see how anyone could claim that's convoluted.
