I looked up the first one, Violating the Lacey Act.

What they say happened: Two men were sent to prison for 8 years and one woman was sent to prison for 2 years for violating the Lacey Act which makes it illegal for importers to violate any foreign law. They violated a Honduran law which forbade shipping lobster is clear packages. They also mentioned that a small percentage of the lobster tails were slightly underweight.

What really happened: they were smuggling undersize (and hence illegal) lobster tails and using the packaging to conceal their crime. They smuggled an estimated $15M of illegal lobster tails. They routed the shipments through out of the way ports that had poor lobster inspection capabilities. Even after they learned of the federal investigation against them they continued.

The info on the site you linked comes mostly from some Heritage Foundation report. My summary above comes from a news article I found with 5 minutes of googling.

If they lead with that one, I'm not going to bother with the rest.
