Also from the article linked in #5 above:

...FBI agents who searched Bergendorff's storage unit in Utah found a sketch of "an injection device disguised as a pen" that would be used to disseminate the toxin, the federal complaint states.

"Bergendorff admitted that there have been people who have made him mad over the years and he had thoughts about causing them harm to the point of making some plans," the complaint states. "However, he maintained he never acted on those thoughts or plans."

Bergendorff showed off his silencers to his cousin, Thomas Tholen, and explained he made them "because they were fun," according to the complaint. Tholen was arrested in Utah for having knowledge of Bergendorff producing ricin and not informing authorities.

For some reason...I’m not buying into this story that the guy says at all. Why show up in Vegas? Why mess with ricin anyway? If you know the consequences...what is the enticement to make the stuff? This guy had alot on his plate and probably was going to market or sell the stuff to someone.
