FBI agent convicted of straw sales

[Tyler Durden]

I actually found out about it again on AR15.com, but doing a google search I found this news article on it:

sounds to me like somebody deliberately destroyed evidence in the form of compact discs/DVD's .  I guess the CD's contained some testimony by the agent.

From what I can piece together, he was selling guns on gunbroker.  When somebody won the bid, then he would order the gun using his LE discount, and pocket whatever the difference was....like a profit.

He had like 2,800 rounds of .50 BMG.  cha ching$$$!!!   

I am wondering if this is somehow tied to Fast and Furious

Sounds like this guy had some serious enemies who caught him by the short and curlies.
