Guy gets nailed for larceny , was involved in indentity theft in 2006 in Iraq [using someone else’s SS# to tinker with records], then after the Marines gets job in security/cybersecurity... plays conservative on social media, owns a biz called Kingsmead Arsenal...

From Michigan... wonder if he knows Michael Moore?

British parents. Maybe he’s a friend of MI6’s Chris Steele...

His sister is also supposedly in possession of multiple passports...

His brother David is a TWIN.

Gets hired in security position even with after being busted to private over criminal behavior.

Likes Russia Olympic mascots.

And he runs a gun related business...in Novi Michigan.

Sounds like a spy novel character that’s just too good to be true, like Mifsud the magical disappearing guy.

The Dems have to be excited as this will give them a chance to bash the NRA.

It’ on their mind, a lib who is thoroughly invested in Media Matters type misinfo brought up US gun violence yesterday in a debate on “miniscule by comparison” dreamer crimes.

Will look to see when he founded it … I wonder if he started it around the time of Obama’s UN gun control stuff? Maybe he got duped into doing Eric Holder’s Fast n Furious dirty work - instead of with Mexican drug cartels but with Russian mafia. Who vetted the guy’s criminal record or who deliberately overlooked it? You just can’t open a firearms place like it’s a lemonade stand.

Not one of ours. US Intelligence don’t go after former military with criminal records.

Likely just a pawn in Putin’s game.

Same thing, as long as the passports aren’t counterfeit. It seems that all four countries have requested consular access, which is a pretty good indication of citizenship.

He will be treated with much more respect than this in Russia. You can count on it.

more, going back into service days:

“He has collected dozens of contacts on the social media site, nearly all of them men, many of whom have at least some connection to the military.”
