He "create[d] giant sheep hybrids to sell the species to hunting facilities", including "import[ing] parts of Marco Polo argali sheep, which is the largest sheep species in the world, from Kyrgyzstan into the U.S. without declaring the importation" and "forg[ing] veterinary inspection certificates, falsely claiming that the sheep were legally permitted species". I think much of this would be just as illegal if he'd smuggled an entire male sheep from Kyrgyzstan and bred it, but it's harder to smuggle a live sheep than just its genetic material.
