The manufacture and sale of counterfeit goods amounted to USD$464 billion or 2.5% of world trade in 2019 and is seen as a victimless crime.  Fakes go beyond sneakers and designer handbags and include medication, auto parts, and other products that have a direct impact on the health and safety of consumers.  The CG marketplace also impacts our economy and does significant damage to our environment.  More lucrative and posing a lower risk than other criminal activities, fakes have been linked to organized crime and terrorist financing.  Project Gemini, a private-public partnership led by Western Union, in collaboration with the Canadian Anti-counterfeiting Network, was created to raise awareness and identify and mitigate risks associated with counterfeit goods.
