**Title:** Alleged Child Trafficking Ring Linked to Wayfair Through Overpriced Products
**Summary:**
* A viral investigation claims to expose a potential child trafficking ring linked to Wayfair, a US-based online furniture retailer.
* The allegations center around extremely overpriced products (e.g., $12,899 for a cabinet) with names matching those of missing children in the US.
* Examples include:
+ "Shamiya" cabinet ($12,899) - matching a missing child's name from 2019.
+ "Yaritza", "Anabel", "Kayla", and others with similar price points and matching names of missing children.
* A Universal Product Code (UPC) search on Yandex allegedly revealed images of a missing child associated with a Wayfair product.
* The theory suggests Wayfair's website is used to secretly sell and identify victims to pedophiles, with the company potentially laundering money through fake furniture sales.
* Wayfair's response, from Director of Communications John Costello, dismisses the claims, attributing the high prices to industrial products and announcing plans to rewrite product descriptions and rename the items.
