United States of America v. Simeon Phillip Cabansag

Anchorage, Alaska criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with conspiracy, misrepresentation of Indian produced goods, and wire fraud.



"39-year-old Cameron Losi, also known as Cameron Lawrence, worked as a salesperson for Alaska Stone Arts LLC in Ketchikan. Federal investigators say between 2016 and 2021, he and others conspired to sell hundreds of carvings and totem poles—imported from the Philippines—as authentic Alaska Native-made art.



The stores involved—Alaska Stone Arts LLC and Rail Creek LLC—were owned by Cristobal, Glenda, and Christian Rodrigo, all from Washington. They reportedly used Filipino labor through their overseas company to mass-produce the items, shipping them to Alaska where they were falsely advertised as handcrafted by Alaska Natives."
