Not saying this was a set up by the Feds...
Then again, some of the dumbest people out there come from such prestigious institutions as Harvard.
A Harvard University fellow has been charged with attempting to buy and smuggle millions of dollars in arms to South Sudan to aid in a coup.
Peter Biar Ajak, 40, fled South Sudan with the help of the American government four years ago after claiming that he was a target of the country’s president, the Daily Mail reported. He was granted refugee status, and has been working as a fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
But Ajak, and his confederate Abraham Chol Keech, a naturalized U.S. citizen who lives and works in Utah, are now alleged to have been on a buying spree to send $4 million worth of Stinger missile systems, grenade launchers, sniper rifles, automatic rifles, and ammunition back home to support a violent uprising, according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed March 4.
It is the prices in the list that make me wonder.

AK ammunition at $ 0.17 a round? That is $3.50 per 20 round box. Ammoseek has the cheapest coming at $0.42 per round. Anybody offering that price for 7.62 Russia would sell 10 million rounds in a 24-hour period in the normal market, why risk and illegal sale?
And then we have 2-way radios priced at $500 a pop while AK rifles go for $200? You could not get a post ban WASR with the front sight canted for less than $350 in 2004. In this day and age a used one goes for double that.
And this is all to be bought in the US to be shipped to Sudan.
Yeah right.
