According to the STRtrade newlsetter:
The Bureau of Industry and Security has issued orders suspending export privileges for the following individuals.
• Export privileges for Andrew Ward Freyer of La Quinta, Calif., have been suspended until Dec. 17, 2017, due to Freyer’s conviction on five counts of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and one count of conspiracy involving exporting, re-exporting, selling and supplying valves from the U.S. to Iran through Australia without first obtaining the required authorization from the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.
• Export privileges for Bertrand Lalsingh of Hollywood, Fla., have been suspended until Feb. 8, 2013, after Lalsingh pled guilty to knowingly and willfully exporting an EOTech 553 holographic weapon sight, an item designated as a defense article in Category I of the U.S. Munitions List, from the U.S. to Germany without having first obtained authorization from the Department of State.
