It was reported last June (2006) that reseller Sun Valley Technical Repair (SVTR)
had been raided by several local, state and federal agencies. Other
than charges of employing illegal workers, the involvement of the
additional agencies is still not public. What did go public last month, though, were the physical assets of SVTR, via auctioneer Cowan Alexander:

UPDATE (12/15/09):Sun Claims Win / Judgement over defunct SVTR
Sun Valley was one of the largest used Sun resellers in the US and
had been in business for 20 years. Whatever the outcome, there were
likely many innocent people caught up in the whirlwind and effected by
any potentially bad players there. While it’s strange to view the photos
of Sun Valley’s vacant offices, it must be bizarre for the former
employees. Post-Its, purchase orders and files are all still just lying
on desks as if the workers are merely on break and will be returning to
work momentarily.
We’ve had a number of inquiries from former clients and partners of
Sun Valley with questions as to why they (Sun Valley) haven’t been
answering calls or e-mails. The best we could offer were links to
articles in the press, such as the following:
