U.S. charges New York company with illegal Chinese equipment sales

NEW YORK - Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges accusing a New York company of exposing the U.S. government and private customers to security risks by illegally importing and selling surveillance and security equipment from China.

Prosecutors said the defendants falsely told customers that Aventura’s products were made in the United States rather than imported, mainly from China, in a scheme that ran from 2006 until this month. Some of those products carried known cybersecurity risks, according to prosecutors. Cabasso and the other people who were arrested were expected to be arraigned in Brooklyn on Thursday. Their lawyers could not immediately be identified. Aventura did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Donoghue said the government began investigating the alleged scheme after a member of an Air Force security unit saw an image of a Chinese security service badge in software for one device.

Wow, whose idea was it to get so entangled with a COMMUNIST country? Wasn't it the super smart elites, the academics, the types who write for Reuters?!🙄

TheLastRefuge2 Do unions make things nearly impossible to compete here in US, due to over regulations or must hvs for workers? Bonuses, days off, higher pay, pensions? Union dues? Strike threats? Just asking.

almostjingo Traitors

TheLastRefuge2 let me guess, they were the brand of camera monitoring epstein?

it's bad, if some guys import knives from China and kill the good ppl with them. need further investigation?

China getting desperate id say in another 4 years they economy go bye bye no more intellectual theft for you hate how the U. S. stills works with these monsters what's happening In Hong Kong is messed up. Anoone saying otherwise go to hell

What’s wrong?

Here is the problem, USA cant manufacture proper CCTV cameras, because every time the news broadcasts a crime & they show the video & picture, its B&W and very pixelated. Either we get our shit together or companies will outsource products to other countries that can do it better

Wombat83855175 'Some of those products carried known cybersecurity risks.' The company’s largest customers are U.S. military! WTH!! Throw them in jail and throw away the key!

Well, thats a lot of work to replace all those cameras.. Someone making cameras and stuff in US who not use China made software and electronics..? Lucky you!

TheLastRefuge2 Treasonous behavior.

Gov. oversight is never a cost effective business decision.
