I wonder what started this investigation.
I don't really follow the gun drama, so I hadn't heard about this until this thread. I read through the summary of the complaint (and let's not forget, the plea deal), and this doesn't appear to be someone targeted...he was running afoul of the law. I'm guessing what actually brought focus on him was trying to get around the Russian sanctions. That's a big political no-no since 2014. The rest of the law letter stuff was probably just a way to put some teeth into it, since it brought about additional conspiracy charges.

I also see Grant from M4c has been charged in some kind of ammo scheme as well.
Hadn't heard about that. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
