Not surprised by this from a leftist like Bezos. Should he have Sharia law imposed on him?
OK, what Iman in Iran ordered a pair of size 10 bedroom slippers?
By today’s standard, they have been accused, BURN EM. We can have a show trial later.
So precious
They’ll pay a fine.
Not sure I want Amazon ( or any other retailor) invited to the Secret Policeman’s Ball.
Democracy dies online
I hate Amazon and Bezos probably more than anyyone else here... But how are we peasants to know who is on terrorist watch lists? I used to sell on eBay and from several little webstores of my own.
The Federal government never sent me a list of people I’m not allowed to do business with. Do they send them to bigger businesses like Amazon, so that they know?
I can see where businesses that sell that require an export license or are ITAR items, would be required to know who they are selling to, but a regular retail business....
How many people on the watch lists buy at the grocery store? Is Safeway going to be in trouble for selling them stuff?
From July 2017:
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is under investigation for allegedly selling goods to a person on the federal government’s terrorism list, possibly violating sanctions against Iran in the process.
In its quarterly report to investors, Amazon said it sold approximately $300 worth of goods to an individual blacklisted by the USA government under Executive Order 13224, which was signed by President George W. Bush in 2001 and aims to “disrupt the financial support network for terrorists and terrorist organizations”.
The consumer goods, valued at $24,700, were sold to an Iranian embassy in another country.
“In 2016, we determined that we processed and delivered orders of consumer products for certain individuals and entities located outside Iran covered by the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act or other United States sanctions and export control laws”, Amazon said in the 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Funny, this fckr can keep peddling, while a gunshop ever so straying on a small rule gets shut down
Bezos belongs in GItmo.
BOYCOTT AMAZON.

Gee, I hope they don’t get fined so bigly that they have to give up on printing a certain newspaper
