I feel like nothing will come of this but I hope I'm wrong. Teach them a damn lesson!

Chances are good that the stuff is fake Chinese knockoffs, so the value might be in the tens of dollars? ;)

They will probably be suspended from the Central Arkansas game, possibly the South Carolina State game as well if they REALLY want to send a message.

If they stole from an actual Louis Vitton store as reported then its likely its legit merchandise unless the entire store is a knockoff. Which wouldn't surprise me. :shock:

Well a quick internet search shows 4 stores in Shanghai with 1 near the Four Seasons. Not sure which hotel they are in but I doubt Mary Pong was the salesperson in this case.

It's all a misunderstanding... Big Baller Brands has a tacit agreement with Louis Vitton sales staff to allow this to take place.

Precedent set in a test case involving Jammies Winston, while at FSPhew... The big mistake was failing to test the theory OVERSEAS.

Unfortunately, they'll probably get no punishment and just a scare and apologize, in order for the local cops to save face.

But in the background, it was a very expensive mistake and a big hole in lavar and UCLA's wallets. haha

Taking the “Baller” out of Big Baller Brand. The three Ball kids = BBB is now BB.

I hope they don't have to go to prison in China, they are just kids. Seeing how they have been released on bail I don't think they will. According to the link provided the store they stole from is next door to the hotel they are staying at. So with luck they get to come home with the team and then with more luck UCLA slaps the s*** out of them....which also won't happen.

IF they actually did this, it was beyond incredibly stupid... Ignoring legalities, or possible consequences such as losing a scholarship, or a potential pro career, it doesn't make sense to do this type of thing pretty much anywhere you are unfamiliar with.

I wouldn't want to get busted in any place that practices caning, branding, whipping, or a country that removes a hand for a first offense, would you?

Is there any indication if the kids were intoxicated at all? I have a hard time imagining them doing something so stupid without the help of alcohol.

Not that alcohol is an excuse.

One stupid decision doesn't justify more of the same.

It’s definitely not an excuse, just can’t imagine someone doing something so foolish unless if their judgement was impaired by alcohol.
