LMFAO!!!!

A bit out of date.

I've meant to ask this before, when did EEB go
out of business? Did it's DoD and DoS contracts
dry up?

EEB owner sentenced for fraud: The Fairfax Journal reports that the
owner of the now-defunct Electronic Equipment Bank in Vienna,
Virginia, Richard F. Robinson, K4EIH, has been sentenced to four
months in jail and four months home detention for fraud. The Journal
report by Ellen Sorokin says that Robinson, 68, pleaded guilty last
December for conspiring to submit false invoices to the Drug
Enforcement Administration in 1995. Robinson also was ordered by US
District Court Judge Leonie M. Brinkema to pay $52,100 in fines and
restitution. Robinson pleaded guilty in December to one count of
conspiracy to submit false invoices to the DEA in August 1995. The
sentencing was February 19. Federal authorities say in documents filed
in US District Court that Robinson conspired with Robert Burchell, a
telecommunications specialist at the DEA's Northern Virginia
headquarters. Court documents say Robinson was indicted on charges he
submitted two bogus invoices to the federal agency totaling $50,000
for batteries used in DEA radios, but the batteries never were
delivered. Robinson received payment for the nonexistent batteries and
kept an estimated $12,000 for his efforts, authorities said in the
court documents, but Burchell instructed him to pay the rest of the
money to third parties. Authorities said the third-party payments
actually were for Burchell's personal benefit. Burchell was sentenced
to four years in prison last October
