Below is a link to the US Department of Justice’s Fact Sheet: Major U.S. Export Enforcement Actions in the Past Year. Please pass it along to anyone who doesn’t believe that people ever get in trouble for export violations.

A few that stood out for me:

• Excellence Engineering Electronics - Restricted Technology to China
• ITT Corporation - $100 Million Penalty for Illegal Exports of Military Night Vision Technology to China, Singapore, U.K.
• United Calibration Corporation in California - Technology with Nuclear Applications to Iran
• Infocom Corporation - Terrorist Transactions, Computer Exports to Libya and Syria

Read through the list carefully - some of these guys knew what they were doing was wrong, but I bet more than one was just conducting day to day business.
