"The Deleterious Impact Of Organized Retail Crime (ORC)"
Organized Retail Crime (ORC) is the large-scale theft of retail merchandise, beyond personal use, with the intention to resell the items for financial gain, and can also include transactional fraud. It is estimated that ORC is an $100 billion problem for US retailers, annually. To help visualize the magnitude of ORC, consider that Americans consume 8 billion chickens yearly. Thus, if each of these chickens averaged a retail price of $12.50 each, in various forms (e.g. fresh, frozen. rotisserie, fried, patties, nuggets, strips, salads, soups, sandwiches, etc.), it would be as if the "ORC wolf pack" is shrinking out and reducing US retail profits by an amount comparable to all the chicken purchased and consumed by Americans yearly. ORC is truly significant, pervasive, harmful, and unacceptable!
Working in the field, for the world's largest retailer, I directly encounter some of ORC's practitioners and ORC's deleterious impact regularly, including:
-the danger of violence and injury to customers, employees, vendors, and bystanders, and property damage;
-increased costs for merchandise, property damage, deterrence, and insurance passed on to consumers;
-closure of much-needed stores, reducing the quality of life, opportunities for gainful employment, reinvestment, and philanthropy in high-shrink neighborhoods;
and,
-losses in sales and profits.
In my opinion, much stronger consequences must be enforced from the bottom to the top of ORC rings to ameliorate this loathsome problem. Crime should not pay: our honest customers should be able to "save money and live better," and not have to suffer due to the behavior of brazen ORC practitioners and participants, and brazen shoplifters, who profit from retail theft and fraud.

1wCurrently before the Ninth Circuit Court as a civil matter, is a case involving a criminal conspiracy by attorneys as officers of the court for opposing parties, who were all funded and directed by, and in conspiracy with, a tax-exempt banking cartel. The intent was to enforce a legally unenforceable anti-whistleblower provision in confidential credit union employee separation agreements, to conceal other wrongdoing. The criminal offenses were so egregious and numerous, this documentary was produced to document the evidence filed in federal courts, and can be viewed at www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2szzbxkuEQ (in HD) or watched/downloaded in UHD at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lZPU0_RoRr-toTaqs5J9I8Vw2jB0GWoG/view This documentary can also be freely shared without limitation, including on any monetized social media channels.
