It’s called receipt of stolen property, and it’s a crime. Doesn’t matter if you’re Amazon.

Without mens rea this is not a crime in (almost?) any jurisdiction, doesn’t matter if you’re Amazon.

No matter what kind of weird games you choose to play, there’s no way amazon has a guilty mind here.

You’re claiming Amazon has zero liability? Then why does Amazon employ people to deal with this problem?

Yes, indeed. Would you like to present a theory as to why they would?

These people are called “lawyers”, they deal with many other problems too.

Amazon knows very well that people are selling stolen goods on their site. They’ve repeatedly chosen to do nothing.

There is literally nothing Amazon can do.
