Episode notes
In 2009, SIGSauer signed a deal with the Columbia National Police to sell 56,000 handguns. The only problem is they didn't have the capacity to make them in New Hampshire and it was illegal to export them from Germany. It shipped German-made SIG pistols to New Hampshire and filed export documents stating that the guns were going to be sold in the US civilian market. But once the weapons arrived in the US, the employees allegedly relabeled the shipping boxes and sent them on the Columbia. Cohen admitted wrongdoing as part of the settlement that led to SIGping the largest export fine in German history, 12 million euros.
