At Least He Made It Big

Perhaps the quote of the week:

Michael Diveroli, [22-year-old international arms dealer] Efraim [Diveroli]'s father, told CNN affiliate WFOR-TV that he wished his son had turned his intellect elsewhere.

"I would prefer he became a nice Jewish doctor or lawyer rather than an arms dealer," WFOR quoted Michael Diveroli as saying.

The story notes that Diveroli sold the U.S. some ammunition made in China.

The problem with Chinese ammunition is, an hour after you fire it, you're under attack again.

Wasn't it his father who set up this sham corporation and made his son CEO at 18, giving him a 1% ownership? It's all in the NYT story.

BTW, is anyone at all surprised that these sketchers live in Miami?

The Times piece is far more informative.
