Jesus, this bloke seems to be the real life version of the arms dealer Nicholas Cage portrayed in Lord of War, slightly off topic but i'ts an excellent film and well worth watching.

Bout was the inspiration for Lord of War. They also rented one of his Antonov's to use in the film.Originally Posted by Tc2642
This article is about our own "merchant of death" during the cold war: Ernst Werner Glatt. Pretty incredible story. Glatt, a German national, did the CIA and DIA's gun running around the world while amassing a small fortune. According to the article he also was a major source in our foreign material acquisition programs.
