When FACTZ pledged to take down the Birkin Syndicate, we had no idea how deep routed this swindle of greed was. My intention was never to go after the Madam Secretary of Birkins, but it fell in our lap, and here we are.

To get caught up on our viral Miami story:

The Birkin Syndicate is Really the Fake Birkin Syndicate – Thanks to Michelle Braun, aka Michelle Berk of Privé Porter

FACTZ did receive a statement from Michelle Berk. She said, “This is entirely fabricated and untrue. Have a nice day Nik.”

However, Berk’s employee of Privé Porter, who has been sharing our story like a crackhead, told FACTZ, “Michelle [Berk] did send those messages to a Chinese vendor, but it was to take down our competitors. We did it for Julia [Fox], who got fake bags from Kanye West.”

If you don’t know who Julia Fox is … let me remind you.

Yeah, she is gross, and Kanye West is into weird porn (I decided). Anyway, TMI. But the internet doesn’t forget … courtesy of Crazy Days and Nights (image below). Berk, even though your employee confirmed that was your convo, she has your back … don’t fire her.

Berk also confirmed the China fake Birkin vendor convo was real, stating this to a friend, “Even in the conversation, I kept making excuses about sending money, I was just trying to get information.”

Not to get sidetracked here, my point is this- why would anyone buy a Birkin bag valued at such extreme prices without doing a background check on the retailer? People on Google say, “She [Michelle Berk] started the company while on house arrest/probation for money laundering and transporting women across state lines for prostitution.” That’s not a red flag or anything???

Oh, and we did confirm Amal Hamidinia, aka AJ Hamm, knew he was buying fake bags from Michelle Berk and didn’t care because he wanted to be friends with her circle (hooks). Yes, Adrianna Suchor your bag is fake.

Now back to real criminal data, here are the felony FACTZ on Michelle Berk, formerly Michelle Braun:
