April 28, 2022 - Businessman Sentenced to One Year Imprisonment for ITAR Brokering Violations[0]
This is just the first of many ITAR violation stories that I found when doing a quick search. ITAR violations are regularly enforced.

- sigmoid10 4y agoNotice that it was just the broker who got sentenced here. He facilitated the trade, but he's certainly not the guy who made the decisions. Same as with the Diesel scandal: VW blamed it all on some middle-management engineer who was supposedly "acting alone." Poor schmuck got seven years in the US and when he was released he got deported to Germany and locked up for another year. I'll even double down right now and say that despite the investigation going against the former VW CEO, he'll never spend a day in prison. The same would hold with NVIDIA or any other major corp.
