Guitar Frets: Environmental Enforcement Leaves Musicians in Fear

So of this $350k fine how much goes to the traders that would've got the order legally? Or any environmental group? Or just into the treasury?

300k is the fine for the illegal import and fraudulent paperwork and 50k is a donation to some project for promoting and sourcing sustainable legal timber for the music industry.

And what do you do with $300k worth of illegal wood? Sell it? Burn it? Build a shed for the White House?

No details apart from Gibson withdrawing any claim of still owning it.

One other question remains though, what happens about the 3 other shipments they got between the siezed one and their staff and suppliers telling them the shipments were illegal?
Without a the contents of the actual shipments to prove that the cargo was really what was written on the documentation it looks like they get away with those three.
