I was messaged by one of the arrested Monday about selling a couple of converters and was supposed to sell to him Saturday. He offered a higher price than my normal go-to. He is currently in Tulsa County on a US Marshalls hold. Does anyone have a link to the indictment?

Doubt that it's online yet. You might could go to that courthouse and look at the file, they are public records. Arresting affidavit is probably all that's in it so soon though.

How much do the companies that actually do the recycling of the converters pay for a converter? I’m thinking the number of converters that are stolen is both under reported and the crime ring was doing a mixture of legitimate and illegitimate business. $545 million is a lot of money and assets.
