We'll mark this for followup...  Its amazing how in denial some people are..

First the tax evasion and money laundering aspect of this is gonna get them
some time. Yes Solly, not what they were charged with(yet)

Second, a court of law will settle the terrorism charges. Innocent until
proven guilty.

If you were simply selling them at a profit, why go thru all the trouble of
unpackaging them? If this was such a moneymaker, why not incorporate and do
it legit? Make even more profit and not have to worry about the number of
phones etc.

LE and Intelligence services are damned if they do and damned if they
dont... Connect the dots,  get critcized from the armchair swami's
Don't connect the dots, get accused of incompentence...
