This is what I call an arms dealer!

This from the FBI's Infragard Daily Alert:

11. January 14, Philadelphia Inquirer - (Delaware; International) Calif. man pleads guilty in Wilmington in arms-broker case. A California man, in federal court January 13 in Wilmington, Delaware, admitted illegally exporting anti-gravity flight suits to Hungary, and attempting to send a F-5 Tiger fighter jet to Iran. Appearing before a U.S. Magistrate, the man, 36, of Simi Valley, California, pleaded guilty to violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the Arms Export Control Act - offenses that carry a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison. The man, who has been in custody since July, will likely receive far less jail time. The prosecution and the defense part company in assessing the man’s danger to the United States.
