New charges for Sotis (Add helium)and Emilie Voissem (Nexus Underwater)

That’s kind of funny in a sad way. At least, this time he won’t be able to cause more troubles for a while.

I take it that he got caught for the jewellery robbery.

Yes, and served time. They stole half a million of jewelry

It's been a long thread but my understanding is that it was the shipping and logistics people that first became concerned about the rebreather deal. Maybe they were under some legal obligation to notify the government?

I've never tried it but I think if I tried to ship some advanced tech to somebody on the government list, my forwarding and customs people would not cooperate. (or maybe even rat me out)

@BlueTrin

Follow the money - maybe?

Perhaps a foolish belief that using a 'cutout' would be the 'kings-x'?

You think that the RBs were paid for and the lure of a 'big sale' was the motivating factor?

Maybe the pressure of the RBs coming back into stock?

Maybe the pressure from creditors?

Why wouldn’t you abort/cancel this order after being warned by a government official?

Not quite the correct sequence. If you are curious re-read upstream

03 USA v SOTIS VOISSEM INDICTMENT Case 1/19-cr-20693-UU.pdf​

This isn't a crime of passion - it's a money case - +$100k sale, maybe more to come?

The case is far from over, there is more coming. The latest, defendants want a peek at Robotka's computer.

May I ask what any of that means?

May I ask what any of that means?

A cutout is like a middle man, and Kings X is a time out in a game of tag your it. So I believe this means that they thought they could use an intermediary to prevent getting caught.

I’m a licensed customs broker. We are licensed by CBP. Individual licenses are difficult to get. Took me a year of studying and I passed the exam on the second try. Some people don’t get it after multiple tried. CBP makes the exam difficult. Anyway, there’s no f’ing way I’d risk my license and livelihood aiding illegal activities. You can bet I would report it. Or if you think something is suspicious, you refuse the business. Did that yesterday. Someone was trying to bring in dietary supplements and skirt FDA regulations. It was sketchy enough that we said no.

The best, safest and most worry free way to go about life is to go by the book, the whole book and nothing but the book. The book is good!

Read upstream - evade export controls by using an 'intermediary company'.

The Ds thought they were too clever for the feds. How did that turn out for the pair?​
