“A California tech boss has been arrested over supplying computer hardware for use in Iran's military and nuclear programs.

Jamshid Ghomi, 63, a dual Iranian-US of Newport Coast, California, was dragged out of his $35 million Newport Beach mansion in handcuffs on Wednesday morning.

He is charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act after selling networking, security and encryption gear to Iran for more than a decade.

The equipment went to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and Iran's Ministry of Defense, the Department of Justice said. …”

ETA: “Ghomi’s federal tax returns reported almost no income, his highest reported income in any year being $20,684. While claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit, a break for low-income earners, in seven tax year, Ghomi built a huge mansion from the proceeds of his alleged crimes.”



Serious about crackers.

If a naturalized citizen, try him for treason and send a message to other "naturalized" citizens.

Firing squad. I am serious.

PS- It's good that the Dems didn't have advance notice, or they would have been protesting the racist NAZI tactics on this poor immigrant in front of his house.
