New York technology firm raided by federal authorities after 'making millions selling Chinese security equipment to the US Military and pretending it was American-made'
2019-11-09
  • Aventura Technologies allegedly made millions by selling Chinese-made surveillance equipment to the US military, falsely claiming it was US-made

  • The scheme 'exposed the federal government and branches of the military to profound cybersecurity risks, such as hacks from foreign governments'

  • Seven current and former employees of Aventura were charged in relation to the purported plot just hours after federal agents raided their Long Island offices

  • Prosecutors say Jack Cabasso masterminded the plot, going to extreme lengths to conceal the multi-million dollar scheme with the help of Chinese businesses

  • Cabasso, his wife Frances , and two others, Jonathan Lasker and Christine Lazarus, were also accused of falsely claiming the company was run by Frances

  • Cabasso has a lengthy criminal record which includes convictions for wire fraud, grand larceny, mail fraud and conspiring to influence a juror
