Strang stole the $600,000 worth of merchandise over the past seven years, The Inquisitir reports.



He then resold the stolen goods for up to half of the market price at online outlet Half.com.

Strang shipped the products to buyers all across the country, according to the site.



It is not clear what kind of profit Strang made from the sales, only that he trafficked in stolen goods.



Strang pled guilty to the charges against him in a US District court earlier this week.



He now faces up to 10 years in prison for his crimes.



His sentencing is scheduled for October 15.
