Okay, WHAT IS THIS EVEN!?!?!?! How is this not much bigger news? I mean he pled guilty to

charges of trafficking nuclear materials and conspiring to traffic nuclear materials, including uranium and weapons-grade plutonium, out of Myanmar

Also... how the hell did Myanmar get weapons-grade materials and where the hell did he sell it and to whom?!

Also, consider that people usually plead down to lesser charges. What the hell else were they up to?

Yeah but I dont believe that these guys were trying to import from Myanmar into the US the nuclear material. It looks like he was just trying to send US weapons into Myanmar for the ethnic groups fighting the government and he ended up being offered payment with this stuff.
