What happens when the BATFE goes into business?

Post by G.A. Heath »

The BATFE setup a business called "Tony Tones All Thangs Fine" in April of 2009 and closed it October 2009. The "business" led to the arrest of 18 people on Federal charges and 10 people on state/local charges. Essentially they let it be known that they would buy anything including narcotics, firearms, and stolen property. They apparently allowed private deals to go down in the back room as well which were recorded on audio and video gear.

"The managers of “Tony Tones All Thangs Fine” purchased more than 50 firearms, including a dozen sawed-off shotguns, most of them allegedly sold illegally either by individuals who were previously convicted felons or by individuals who believed they were selling firearms to convicted felons."
