Default What Happened at US Digital

If you have their products and they are on the list at Dept of State
then you must comply or the FBI will visit.

The company I worked for had a full time import/export person that was
a legal council to the company and we took delivery of boxes of documents
a year of laws and listings.

There was a case that a guy - think eBay but wasn't - sold a copy machine
exposure bulb to the pinko's as we called them and he went
to jail because it was listed as an atomic material product.

So I would find out what is what before two gold badges show up
and take your shop and documents to another building.

You don't mention the ways.

The digital encoders might be of a grade that exports to certain
countries is by permission of state department only. Many items
and machines are on the lists. The company I worked for in the 80's
did a sting job and aided the G-Men in tracing the machines. They
were shipped to two states and then to a friendly country and was about
to go behind the Iron curtain when the law caught all sides.

So, what. I do not have to sign some insulting and degrading letter to
stay within the law. I really could care less about US Digitals
problems. Its akin to forcing me to work for them and law enforcement
without paying me. I already have to work for the IRS, DES, and AZDOR
unpaid.


You just gotta love scare tactic arguments. LOL. I've been in business all
my life, and in the normal course of business I have had reason to talk with
authorities at most levels of government including a few alphabet agencies.
Some as customers others in their official capacity. I am still here.
While it does happen that occasionally somebody gets screwed over by "the
system" for the most part if you aren't breaking the law there is no reason
to let somebody intimidate you or make demands of you.

By the way, I do export some parts, and I've done my homework there too. I
sure don't need USD trying to nanny me.
