ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A Georgia military contractor tricked law enforcement agencies into buying faulty stun grenades, ultimately leaving three FBI agents injured, federal prosecutors announced Monday.

The company also mixed defective grenades with others that had been fixed "to camouflage the defective devices from receiving personnel" at the FBI, the indictment says.

Last week's indictment alleges that company officials bribed a federal official and paid for a visit to a strip club. The officials are accused of conspiracy, money laundering, mail fraud and defrauding the government.

The company, known as PSI, did not immediately respond to calls for comment.



That is so american. Money first ,the heck with everything else. If you're rich, you're a hero. If you're poor, you're a lazy oaf worthis white (or black) trash welfare bum.

An opinion that has worked it's way into canada , thanks to having no native film or tv industry and getting "dumped" american shows at below cost. Something that would be illegal in any other industry.

Looking at articles like this, dangerous wares, but there's money on the table ? Lets just bribe a few people and keep going !

I am reminded of the american airline industry, terribly upset about having their planes grounded for failing safty inspections, inspections they weasled their way out of having to do for years, and then when the weasling failed and it all came due at once we find out most every single plane they have has problems. And they blame the inspectors. YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF FOOLS !!!! No , thats not an acceptable response for them.

I am reminded of Taser corp and their non lethal stun gun that keeps killing people. So far they tested it on some cows or pigs or something and found it causes heart murmurs even after even only one shot. Heart murmurs. So much for "leaves no bad after effect" Mr Taser Corp president. But you're still weasling your way out of that one and we have to wait for your fall a bit longer it seems.

I am reminded of the current morgage scandel in america, where there were complaints that they kept swapping documents and making them sign and sign and sign until they just stopped reading , and then they got the shaft. And now that they're stuck with a huge morgage on a tiny house thats worth less than themorgae, they're all declaring bankruptcy , so these companies are running to the government for help. And getting it. And the little guy just gets the shaft and not much else.

I am reminded of record industries that don't actually sell records. They just wait for a new medium to come along , because hey , lets face it , once you already have all the songs you want on LP (and later tape cassettes , and then CD's) you're not buying them twice , right? So they just wait , and a new medium comes out. And they wait for people to cheat. And they wait until there's a good supply of cheaters. Then they sue everyone in sight for damages, because hey , you can't sell them the same songs over and over. They dn't make money on sales. Only on law suits.
And then they complain that other countries don't follow american rules. Hah !

I am definately reminded of Microsofts preditory tactics and deliberate campaigns to wipe out the competition and impose a monopoly, but lets not get into another microsoft rant. Suffice to say their operating system has vender locked itself to the point where it is no longer useful to me , it doesn't do the job anymore, and so I'm just waiting for the warrenty to run out on this piece of junk before throwing Linux on it. I only kept it to run my online games, and now those games will run on Linux under wine, and you can't sue me because this box has a windows license *grins and sticks tongue out at bill gates*

I am reminded of how insulted I was on 9/11 when all those planes were crashing out of the sky. And beside every such news article was an ad to fly, there are deep discounts now there's no better time to fly than now ! There are terrorists blowing up your planes and crashing them and you're running these ads the very same day ? My god you have no scruples at all do you ? You are completely amoral arn't you ?

Well...I should have expected that. I read so many linux articles, mostly bashing microsoft I admit , and right beside or above them is some ad trying to sell microsoft junk. I'm still laughing at that. This article is bashing microsoft and you're running microsoft ads on it ? Completely amoral.

How many american companies taking the consumer for a ride ? I've lost count over the years. That false gold company that bought gold ore off another to act as proof. Those phone solicitation guys that got told to cease and desist by a court , but ignored it and phoned up the very same people all over again to "help them" get their money back from those criminals, but you had to pay up front for that , in effect robbing them a second time. I lost count of how many completely fraudulent business deals come from america.

It's pointless to be a scientist or computer manufacturer in canada , because we buy all our science from america , cheap , and computers. Why produce locally ?

Money first. Swamp and destroy the locals. Defraud john doe. Mail order and phone scams. False businesses. "Made in America" is a warning lable, not a boast, if you ask me.
