The wildlife sure won't miss him, nor will I. :gj: Poachers do immeasurable harm to populations of wild species, & shipped improperly, many of those they take just suffer & die. I hope he gets the full 15 & a full helping of karma to go with it.

Ah yes that's a name I recognize from the Fauna BOI.

ETA: He's only been indicted and not convicted. I doubt he'll do anywhere near 15 years.

You are right on that.....

He also had a gun charge for being a felon in possession of multiple firearms so:

"The maximum sentence under the Lacey Act and firearms charges are five (Reptile charge)

and 10 years (Firearms Charge) imprisonment, respectively, and a $250,000 fine for each charge."
