Efraim Diveroli is a former American arms dealer. His company, AEY Inc., was a weapons contractor for the U.S. State Department. Convicted in January 2011 of fraud, he was sentenced to four years in federal prison. On March 27, 2008, the U.S. government suspended AEY Inc. for infringing upon the terms of its contract; in violation of a pre-existing arms embargo, the company was accused of supplying ammunition manufactured in China to the Afghan National Army and police. United States Army documents showed that the company totaled more than $200 million in contracts to supply ammunition, assault rifles, and other weapons in 2007. As a result of publicity surrounding the contract, the United States Army began a review of its contracting procedures. A company Diveroli owns, Ammoworks, continued selling arms while he awaited trial for conspiracy. In late August 2009, he pled guilty on one count of conspiracy, and was sentenced to four years in prison on January 4, 2011. He was further sentenced for possessing a weapon while out on bond.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eleventh Circuit Affirming Diveroli's conviction )〕 His partner, David Packouz, was sentenced to seven month's house arrest.〔 Packouz later went on to invent a guitar pedal, the BeatBuddy.
