Amazon seller consultant confesses to employee bribery, plans guilty plea.

Ephraim "Ed" Rosenberg, a well-known consultant for Amazon third-party sellers, has admitted to bribing Amazon employees for information to help his clients boost sales and get their suspended accounts reinstated. Rosenberg, who runs a consultancy business that advises entrepreneurs on how to sell products on the online marketplace, will plead guilty in federal court to a criminal charge stemming from a 2020 indictment that charged six people with conspiring to give sellers an unfair competitive advantage on Amazon's third-party marketplace. Rosenberg's Facebook group for sellers, ASGTG, has over 68,000 members, and he hosts a popular conference for sellers each year.
