I’m surprised there hasn’t been a coordinated effort against Amazon by an attacker using this strategy (poisoning the well at scale). That’d fix their comingling problem straight away.

Posting vast numbers of stories about counterfeits on the internet seems like an easier way to "poison the well", I would assume.

That sounds like a quick way to end up in prison for a long time.

Amazon flagrantly sells counterfeits due to comingling. Repercussions? Zero. As long as you're outside of US jurisdiction, the chances of you being prosecuted are close enough to zero to round down.
