On a couple of occasions I've found broken rip-offs of my applications in the App Store, and Apple was very slow to remove them. It took 6 months on average.
In my case the scammers have learned how to stall the process — at each stage they didn't respond to anything until the very last deadline, and then lied and lied as long as they could (to absurd levels — in one case my name was in credits.rtf in their app bundle, and they still said it's 100% their app).
When the app is removed Apple doesn't issue refunds, and I wouldn't be surprised if the seller kept the money. So 6 months of sales per obvious, immediately reported scam is still a good business.
