She faces a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gain or loss from the offense.

They probably can’t prove that the buyers knew that the coupons were fake. Owning a cat machine & paper is like printing money. I’ve never heard of Telegram. I reported a coupon counterfeiter to eBay and to the product manufacturer. One can buy ip’s on IG but I don’t. They might be legit but there’s no way to know.
