After four months of investigating, federal officials and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department made "record-breaking seizures" of counterfeit NFL merchandise this week.

Thursday's "Operation Fake Sweep" successfully shut down 307 websites for selling fake merch, and seized 42,692 items of phony Super Bowl-related memorabilia.

Final score: Feds $4.8 million, Counterfeiters $0.
